Iñaki Urdangarin and his partner, Ainhoa Armentia, have changed their lives. They have stepped away from the media spotlight and have chosen to create their home in a luxurious town in the Basque Country. More specifically, in a high-end residential area in Vitoria.

There, the couple are living their lives as if they were completely unknown. In fact, among other things, it offers them peace, as he has admitted in a recent interview.

Iñaki Urdangarin and his new life in the Ciudad Jardín residential area of Vitoria

Since the relationship between Iñaki Urdangarin and Ainhoa Armentia became public, media attention has been constant and, at times, harsh. The former Duke of Palma decided some time ago to make a significant change in his life. That's why the couple have chosen to step away from the spotlight and create a home together in an environment that guarantees them privacy and peace.

To do so, they have chosen a very special place in the Basque Country, specifically in an exclusive residential area of Vitoria called Ciudad Jardín. Many describe this enclave almost as a town because it has all kinds of services, and it has allowed them to live a life far from the media noise, living as completely anonymous people. In this high-end residential area, with large green spaces and top-level amenities, they have found an ideal refuge to start a new chapter.

The decision by Iñaki Urdangarin and Ainhoa Armentia to settle in Ciudad Jardín is not a coincidence. This place offers a lifestyle very different from the one they had led until now. With more than 290,000 sq. ft. (27,000 m²) of common areas, the residential area is a true oasis of calm and exclusivity.

In addition, it has all the necessary comforts so that its residents can enjoy themselves without needing to go out to the city every day. From green and sports areas to children's zones and services, everything is designed to make life comfortable and relaxed.

Privacy is another major attraction. For him, who has spent years exposed to media pressure, this environment is a real relief.

Not to mention that the top-level of the homes is no less. The houses in Ciudad Jardín often exceed €2,000,000.

This is a very exclusive enclave, where the standard of living is high and where peace is the norm. In this space, the couple can enjoy their relationship without the constant gaze of the media or the public.

The new stage in Iñaki Urdangarin's life

The romance between Iñaki Urdangarin and Ainhoa Armentia caused a great impact. At that time, he was still married to Infanta Cristina, which caused a scandal and put the couple under public scrutiny. Since then, the pressure has been constant, with the press following their every move.

However, since they decided to move to Ciudad Jardín, they have managed to distance themselves quite a bit from media attention. He has acknowledged in a recent interview that this change has been key to being able to have a life "as normal as possible."

This new stage represents for Iñaki Urdangarin an opportunity to build a different present and future, focused on family and emotional stability. Also on new projects, such as the one he has in mind for sports coaching.
