Singer Aurora Briz and her guitar take listeners through the sounds of an open diary — her beach, her motherhood, her story — in an hour-long concert. Tickets cost 1 € and go on sale from 26 November; latecomers are not admitted. A small library concert is an easy, low-key night out alone.
The library of the Hegoalde civic centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz screens a documentary about two women who travel to a remote valley in Chile. According to the listing, they arrive full of fear: of hard rock, of endless rain, of aching bodies and of hormones that scramble everything. Together, by insisting, the fear slowly loosens. The session is led by Maite Zumarraga and Idoia Rubial, and the film is in Basque with Spanish subtitles. Entry is free until the room is full, so it is best to arrive a little before the start. The screening takes place on Thursday evening from 18:30 to 20:00. A mountain-adventure film in a neighbourhood library is an easy way to spend an evening alone and to chat afterwards with the other people who came. «Documental: "Las Norbet Guan. Cochamo style"» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00. Source: Kulturklik — Basque Government / Open Data Euskadi (CC BY 4.0).
A rare look inside the Círculo Vitoriano, a private society whose rooms are normally reserved for members: the assembly hall, boardroom, library, reading room, card room and txoko. It is free but you must register in advance (until 2 December) through the city's open citizens' school. Small guided groups make it easy to chat with fellow visitors.

Almost all of them. The 3 upcoming programs on this page are public library events in Vitoria-Gasteiz; most need no booking and no library card. Workshops with limited places say so on the official page.
Yes. Most people at library book clubs, talks and language cafés come alone, there is a host who starts the conversation, and nobody asks why you are there. Arrive a few minutes early.
Usually it is free: bring photo ID and a proof of address (a rental contract or a utility bill) to any branch. Rules differ per library, so check the branch page before you go.
