General information

The Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias show Spain’s green Atlantic north, with dramatic coast, mountain backdrops, strong food cultures, industrial heritage and proud regional identities.

Trips and nature

This is a wet, green and rugged region of cliffs, beaches, valleys, forests and mountains. The Picos de Europa are the major highland highlight.

Food and atmosphere

Bilbao, San Sebastián, Santander and Oviedo each bring a different urban mood. Pintxos, cider, fishing towns, prehistoric caves and regional languages add richness.

Transport and stay

Rail and buses connect cities, but a car is very useful for beaches, villages, mountain routes and the Picos de Europa.
