San Sebastián

San Sebastián

Once a favoured stop-off for pilgrims heading to Santiago de Compostella, San Sebastián is a lively city on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, overlooked by jagged, tree-covered mountains. The city has its rich seafaring history to thank for its venerable culinary scene, making it the foodie hotspot it's become today.

Recommendations

  • In the old town, you can hike up Monte Urgull to the 12th-century Castillo de la Mota (or Motako Gaztelua in Basque). Inside the castle you'll find the Casa de la Historia (Historiaren Etxea) museum, and you can enjoy unspoilt views of San Sebastián's perfect bay.

  • Visit San Sebastian's sprawling Playa de la Concha beach. 

  • Stroll through the quiet cobbled streets and pick out your favourite bars for a drink and some pintxos (or we can recommend our favourites!).

Vigo

Vigo

Vigo is the largest city in Galacia and a major port city on Spain's northwestern coast. Beyond its urban appearance, Vigo boasts a beautiful Galacian old town that slopes down to the city's attractive estuary. From there, many visitors take advantage of the seasonal ferry to the pristine Islas Cíes archipelago, a designated national park bordered by white sand beaches.

Recommendations

  • Named the ‘Islands of the Gods’ by the Romans, the Cíes Islands are a true gem in the Vigo Estuary. Boat trips operate to a few of the islands: Rodas beach joins the islands of Monteagudo and Faro and is a highlight.

  • A wander round the streets of Vigo’s old town will take you back to its fishing heyday. The granite-built buildings are a higgledy-piggledy mix of tiny houses and grand townhouses.
