Lakua is a district of the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, of the Basque Country, Spain.
Located at the north of the city, actually with more than 50,000 inhabitants, the biggest urban concentration of the capital of Alava. Lakua is divided in various subdistricts or neighbourhoods, which have their own personality in Lakua but they share an origin and a similar architecture. At demographic and estadistic level, the institutions divide the neighbourhood at two other subneighbourhoods: "Lakua- Arriaga" (Which would include the area from Arriaga to Lakuabizkarra) and "Lakua-Sansomendi" (Which would include Sansomendi, Ibaiondo and another part of Lakuabizkarra). In less than five years, Lakua's population is expected to be more than 70,000 inhabitants, because the neighbourhood can't be expanded more, but there are a lot of houses to be occupied.
The district occupies a great square at the north of the city, one-third of Vitoria´s residential area. It started to get built in the early 1960s, with the industrial "boom" the city had. The city hall was obligated to make an urbanization plan, with the north of the city as the objective. Those quaggy terrains transformed at Lakua, which now doubles the inhabitants that Vitoria had.
Actually, Lakua can be divided at 3 great areas
The inhabitants of Lakua can walk to the city centre in 20 minutes. 8 of the 17 Tuvisa public bus company's bus lines are in Lakua, which makes another way of moving through the city possible.

Finally, there is a new bus station currently being built at Lakua céntrica.
