About This Adventure
Embark on a captivating journey between Bilbao and San Sebastián, where the true treasure lies in the adventure itself. Choose to begin in a revitalized urban hub or a stunning tourist destination, and experience the unique blend of culture and nature that defines this remarkable route through Spain.
Overview
We start in Bilbao, but we could also start in San Sebastián because the two cities are only an hour's drive apart. It might take us a bit longer because the treasure isn't found at the end of the route but within the journey itself. So, you choose: Would you rather kick off the adventure in an urban area, reborn after its industrial past, and finish in a tourist city nestled in one of Spain's most breathtaking natural landscapes? Or vice versa?
