Hi all, I'll be arriving in Santander on the 3rd of May and other than that night I've made no plans whatsoever. I have All the Aires and a good set of maps covering the North of Spain. I'm looking for recommendations for things, drives and places that are a must in that part of the country. All ideas, normal,weird, wacky, and wonderful appreciated.

San Sebastián has a lovely beach, a great little old town, and a fernicular up to top of tower. Santander, you can get ferry boat out to sand bars, similar to our Dogger Bank but bigger. Great for a picnic or to wet the feet. Pamplona is nice, see where the bull run is. In then into the mountains. Lovely. I’ll be down there my self in early June. Be coming down through France though
Enjoy

Or it could possibly be a "free aire".

You can't go wrong with Campercontact or Park4night on the continent. Mind you, we only do cities if we've read something interesting about them. Out in the sticks, thats where the real soul is.
Valladolid, a university city with cracking architecture, and all the cities and towns on the "Silver Route".

went up through Jaca last summer and up to French border at formigal...it was brilliant.Jaca has a nice free aire within walk of lovely town. The hiking in Pyrenees around formigal was spectacular and parking was safe, free and relaxed anywhere. Sleepy ski towns in summer have a lovely sleepy vibe for us. I would recommend that area....oh and tapas santa anna (I think!) in jaca was worth the visit by itself. Me, wife and three kids spent threes hours sipping and nibbling there for about 50euro...

Hi, how did your trip go?
I am planning something like that in July, 2 years ago I was in Barcelona, it was amazing and beautiful. This year I want to stick to North of Spain. What is worth visiting? I know, it’s probably difficult to say, as I can speak non-stop of my around Spanish trip))) Even thought of buying apartment in Barcelona to be able to come more often or probably rent it and get some money out of it, looks like this is extremely profitable type of investment these days, lots of expats living in Barcelona and lots of tourists as well. Just an idea for now though…
