Hello!
My mother and I are planning stages of our trip to Spain and we would LOVE some feedback. We are flying into Madrid and out of Bilbao, planning on renting a car the day we leave Madrid and drop it off when we get to Bilbao.
Madrid - 2-3 days
Toledo - 1 day
Avila, Salamanca - 2 days (sleep in Salamanca)
Drive to Santander or San Sebastian or Pamplona - explore the Basque Region -4 days
Bilbao - last 2 days
Any recommendations for the Basque Region? Is it better to have a base or to split it up into 2days in 2 different places?
Also, renting a car in Spain - I can only drive automatic, will this be a problem? We thought if we reserve one in Madrid it might be fine. Anyone have experience with this? And where the best place is to pick up the car?
Thanks so much for your help!!! :)
