Base to explore Northern Spain- Basque Country, Gallicia

Hi, we are family of 6 (two adult children and spouses) flying into Bilbao May 17th for 8 days. Any recommendations for one or two base to explore the area ? Thanks

I think a little more information would be helpful - what are you interested in seeing/doing? Are you flying back out of Bilbao as well? Are you renting a car (not necessary - bus and train transport is good). Do you want to get to Santiago de Compostela? Do you want to stick to the coast? Etc...

I have no idea if this is ok to post; and you didn't ask this, but my son's very dear friend (they met in Los Angeles; she and her hubby are both American) just opened Kuki Cookie Bakery in Bilbao; and it is a hit! So stop by her bakery for some cookies while you are there. They are gluten free, but everyone loves them. Her husband just got a job transfer to Bilbao; so she needed to figure out what she was going to do; she opened a bakery and success!

Our son recently visited and really enjoyed Billbao, Barcelona and Formentera!
