Embark on a memorable journey through the vibrant historic cities of Bilbao and Castro Urdiales in northern Spain. This carefully planned tour blends history, culture, and awe-inspiring scenery, promising an unforgettable experience.
Setting off from Santander, you'll make your way to Bilbao, where a 2.5-hour guided tour awaits in the heart of its bustling Old Town. Meander through the lively streets, admire the Gothic Cathedral of Santiago and the Church of San Nicolás, and soak in the cultural atmosphere of Plaza Nueva and the iconic Seven Streets. The tour also includes a delightful stroll along the scenic Nervión River.
After the guided tour, there's an option to enhance your experience with a 1-hour boat trip along the Nervión River or a visit to the iconic Guggenheim Museum - both activities are optional and involve an extra cost. Alternatively, you might prefer to spend around 3 hours exploring Bilbao at your leisure and savour a local lunch. At the agreed time, you'll reconvene to continue your journey.
The next stop will be Castro Urdiales, a delightful coastal village in eastern Cantabria. Here, you'll explore its historic centre, including significant landmarks such as the Gothic Cathedral, the ruins of a Romanesque church, and an ancient Roman bridge. In Castro Urdiales, you'll also have some free time to shop and soak up the village's distinctive charm before returning to Santander.
