Aberásturi (pronounced as /es/, Basque: Aberasturi)[2] is a hamlet and concejo located in the municipality of Vitoria-Gasteiz, in Álava province, Basque Country, Spain. It is located in the eastern part of the municipality, some 8km (05miles) from the city center, along the Ertekaberri river at the foot of a mountain and on a hillside.
After the Cuadrilla de Añana separated from the Cuadrilla de Vitoria in 1840, Aberásturi remained within Vitoria.[3] The village had previously belonged to the now extinct municipality of Elorriaga, which was absorbed by the municipality of Vitoria around 1870.[4]
In 1960, Aberásturi had a population of 242. This figured halved by 2000, and has remained stable since then.
The Catholic parish church is under the patronage of Saint Stephen. It has a neoclassical portico designed by Justo Antonio de Olaguibel, built during the early nineteenth century. The rest of the building dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.[5]
