My husband and I have two weeks in Spain in September. I have done lots of research and come up with an itinerary and I would welcome feedback. This plan assumes renting a car sometime around San Sebastian or Bilbao and dropping it when we get to Barcelona - is this the best plan? We are happy to take train or bus, but the car seemed to give us more freedom.
Also, what are your opinions about the best use of our time while in the Basque area with SS as our base? We want to see SS, Bilbao, Hondarribia, drive the coast between Bilbao and SS and see San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Lekeito and/or Getaria. I am unsure how long to allow for this. Should I add another night and go to La Rioja, perhaps Laguardia, before we drive to Cadaques?
I really appreciate your help.
