Aríñez lies 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) west of Vitoria-Gasteiz, next to the N-102 road, a branch of the A-1 (Madrid-Irún) expressway.[citation needed] Its most representative building is the parish church, dedicated to San Julián and Santa Basilisa, which combines the Renaissance and Baroque styles.[2] These saints' celebrations take place on 9 January, and celebrations in honor of Saint Thomas take place on 21 December.[citation needed]
Until 1928, when it was absorbed by Vitoria, Aríñez was a municipality which also included the nearby hamlets of Margarita and Eskibel.[3][4]
