I have a place lined up for us in Oviedo, Spain. We'll be there for three nights. Then I have a place booked in Hendaye, France for three nights. I'm happy with this part of the itinerary, both in the places we are staying and the amount of time we are spending there.
I am looking for ideas for some places in between these two locations, in total we have 5 nights to plan. Note: We have a car.
The obvious choice would be somewhere (?) in the Picos de Europa, either five nights total there then direct to Hendaye (~4 hour drive) or three or four nights in the Picos with a one or two night stay somewhere in between.
In the Picos the town most talked about is Potes, however there is a town called Las Arenas that looks incredible on google maps. Any ideas on places to stay in the Picos de Europa?
Between Oviedo and Hendaye places I'm looking at are San Vicente de la Barquera, Comillas, LLanes, and possibly even Santander or Bilbao. Obviously having the car can complicate visiting the larger cities if you're not careful with choosing a hotel. Also, not much of a big city person, but enjoy walking around them for a day or two.
Any ideas or comments on my current line of thinking?
