The fairytale landscapes of Basque Country and Cantabria bring marvellously rewarding experiences amid the green meadows, mountain valleys and sandy shores of Northern Spain. Differing greatly from the rest of the mainland, northerners are known for their strong traditions, cultural pride and culinary geniuses.
Start in San Sebastián, a culinary world capital that is the home of Michelin maestros like Arzak, Berasategui and Eneko Atxa. From fine dining to causal pintxos, experience its remarkable traditions and meet the masters of Basque cuisine. Drive along the Bay of Biscay to continue to appreciate Basque Country’s culinary splendour and contemporary façades in the de facto capital of Bilbao. Then, it’s off to the spectacular hills of Cantabria. Based in Santillana del Mar, explore the surrounding port towns, Atlantic beaches and verdant meadows, dotted with medieval ruins, farmlands and Renaissance palaces.
