In Álava, there are places that, due to their history, location, landscape, and many other factors, attract the attention of numerous media outlets. Such is the case of Labraza, a village located in the southeast of the territory, specifically in Rioja Alavesa, which has piqued the interest of publications like 'Viajar' magazine.

Situated near the Toloño mountain range, this council of the municipality of Oion can boast of being one of the most original historical points found in all of Europe. It sits at about 677 meters above a hill from which the Ebro basin can be seen.

Its main attraction is being the smallest fortified town in Euskadi, thanks to its defensive enclosure of 80 meters in perimeter, a true medieval gem. In fact, this earned it the World Award for Walled Cities in 2008, both for the originality of its wall and for the conservation strategy promoted by institutions.

The historic center of Labraza, of medieval character, is preserved in excellent condition. The wall almost completely surrounds the urban core, except at its main access, and has been declared a Monumental Complex. The urban structure is distributed in three main streets connected by passageways and small squares that respect the original design. Furthermore, many of its 16th-century Renaissance-style homes feature underground cellars carved into the rock.

On the outskirts of Labraza, lies the Fountain of the Moor, a 14th-century Gothic construction. From here, an underground passage begins, which, in its day, during sieges, allowed hidden access to the village. The route can be completed in the Pinar de Dueñas, a hiking trail where Europe's westernmost Aleppo pine forest is found, forming a 50-hectare area surrounded by vineyards.
