What to expect
You'll travel by private vehicle with a dedicated driver-guide who knows the region well. Each day covers a different region, mixing coastal drives, town walks, and cultural stops. Expect time in small fishing villages where you can eat fresh seafood, wine tastings in river gorges, and opportunities to explore medieval towns at your own pace. Mountain scenery appears in Asturias—Covadonga's turquoise lakes are the highlight. The pace is leisurely; you're not rushing between sights. Cities like Bilbao and San Sebastián warrant longer stops to wander properly.
