Product Information

When being on a road trip anywhere between Unquera and Cudillero, put in Google maps the word “Sidra” and you’ll see lots of options for where to stop for such a unique experience. By the way, the Cabrales Cheese Cave mentioned above includes a cider tasting after the cheese tour. The majority of tourists to northern Spain are people who have traveled quite a lot around Spain and Europe. They can compare and understand the advantages of different regions. These people appreciate organic foods and high-quality beverages, can distinguish between natural and manmade beaches, and love nature in its original state. The Bardenas Reales Nature Park and Biosphere Reserve is a huge semi-desert area in the southeast of the Navarra Kingdom. You can move around the park by car, by bicycle or on foot. Due to many cars and rather narrow roads, going on foot may be the best option. On day 1 towards Santiago de Compostella, I recommend you make a stop in Ourense (it will be on the way) – a city famous for hot springs right on the edge of the river. It also has a historic center, interesting churches and bridges, but the main thing here is thermal water. You can soak in Caldas de Outariz hot springs and to reach them, go along the Thermal Walk which runs along the right bank of the Miño River.

Old District (Casco Viejo) Great for tapas and to enjoy a lively atmosphere. The famous 7 calles (7 streets) and Plaza Nueva are where most tapas and pintxos bars concentrate. There is a flea market in Plaza Nueva on Sundays. Castro urdiales. Next up is Castro Urdiales on the eastern end of Cantabria. A seaside village and popular tourist destination. The beach does get overcrowded in the summer months but it is definitely worth a stop. It is filled with beautiful scenery that makes for excellent photo opportunities: the gothic-style church, the castle, the Roman bridge and the port, just to name a few. The historical part brings travelers to the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The main attraction here is the Cathedral, a huge early Gothic church of Santa Maria de Leon. Also, Leon is home to another magnificent work of Antonio Gaudi – Botines House, built in a medieval spirit with elements of Art Nouveau style. Yet, for some reason, it didn’t leave a feeling that we wanted to return, perhaps rent an apartment for a longer period of time and discover more of the region. Maybe the reason was that the scenery and nature reminded us a lot about Southern California where our life was too stressful, I am not sure. But the southwest of Spain didn’t impress us as much as the north.Dramatic alpine landscapes define the Picos de Europa. The terrain includes jagged mountain peaks, verdant valleys, deep gorges, pristine rivers and lakes, and dense woodlands.

Despite the fact that San Sebastian is a small city, a significant international film festival takes place here every year. In July the city hosts a jazz festival and a few other festivals take place throughout the year too. This large map of Spain will help you figure out how to make your way around the country.

From the lush, green, rugged north; to the pristine beaches along the Mediterranean coast; to the sun-drenched olive groves of the south, Spain's fascinating geography means you'll never have the same experience twice. Just as each of its most iconic cities have a unique feel to them, the different regions of Spain all offer something completely original.
