Closing of EXPOCHESS 2018

EXPOCHESS 2018 concludes at the Gran Hotel Lakua in Vitoria-Gasteiz, our world headquarters. The date is December 22, 2018, the month that coincides with the end of the previous EXPOCHESS CHILDREN OF THE WORLD festivals, dates that remind us that Chess is the greatest cultural bridge for the children of the world, for all people.

For the closure, the I EXPOCHESS VITORIA-GASTEIZ Chess Tournament has been organized, an event in which 40 boys and girls will participate, divided into two categories: sub9 and sub14 years.

Gran Hotel Lakua, world headquarters of EXPOCHESS

Placed at the north of the city, Gran Hotel Lakua is perfectly connected to the historic centre of Vitoria-Gasteiz through the bus line number 4 and the tramway’s Abetxuko line, which, in both cases, have stops next to the hotel. Likewise, the hotel is close to the most moderns shopping malls, and to the new coach Station. The hotel offers a wide catering offer, due to the fact that its restaurant is specialized in the Traditional Basque Cuisine, and to its café and Piano Bar.
