           Vitoria-Gasteiz, 16th July 2009. Yesterday, the Town Councillor for Education of Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council, Isabel Martínez, defined the joint initiative between Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council and the Santa María Cathedral Foundation as very positive.

    The initiative, started over seven years ago, was complemented two years ago with additional workshops to the tour, meaning that the number of visits rose from 2.800 to 5.300 children. The Chairman of the Santa María Cathedral Foundation, Juan Ignacio Lasagabaster, underlined the importance of these activities that enable young people to have a closer experience of disciplines such as archaeology or architecture. It is about turning the Gothic temple into a space for learning.
