We spent last week exploring Northern Spain from the very chic and beautiful San Sebastián to Vigo and we loved our journey. We found the people open and warm and willing to take a minute to listen and help you. We found the area industrious from the small fishing crews to the farmers to the shopkeepers. Most with a ready smile on their face. We loved the mid sized cities with amazing museums and architecture and restaurants. And we found many of the small villages to have the same….amazing food, historic & beautiful architecture and proud & accomplished restaurateurs.
For our journey in our fiat we loved the fact that we could take small roads through villages & along coast and then switch to the major roads and toll roads when we wanted to make better time.
As there are few major cities in northern Spain, I think it seldom finds its way on to travel itineraries …..one of the best reasons to add it to your travel plans.
As we recuperated from our first Camino hike we love the rugged authentic north coast of Spain.
