Why we love it

“The beauty of a self-drive trip is that you are in full control of your destiny, and we've crafted a route through the beautiful Basque country that takes in all the gastronomic delights on offer. You’ll begin your journey through the region in the beautiful Bilbao which boasts the famous Guggenheim Museum and striking modern architectural innovation. Driving on along the scenic coastline, stop off at the seaside metropolis of San Sebastian where you will get lost in the colourful web of the old town pintxos bars and coastline views. Your final stop will be the Basque countryside, the perfect place to enjoy local delicacies and wonderful valley views. We are always on hand if you would like a world-class guide for a day and have a little black book full of recommendations.”

San Sebastian

This wonderful coastal town in the Basque region of Spain is home to more Michelin start restaurants than anywhere else in the world and packs a huge punch in terms of culture.
