3 Nights – Bilbao
3 Nights – Rioja
4 Nights – San Sebastian
✈️ UK – Bilbao (3 nights): Your exploration of the Basque country will begin in Bilbao, with its avant-garde architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Visit the iconic Guggenheim Museum with its striking titanium-clad design that features artists including Richard Serra and Louise Bourgeois. After immersing yourself in art, take a leisurely stroll through the historic Old Town, where you’ll find pintxos bars (Basque tapas) offering everything from local Idiazabal cheese to jamón ibérico. Also head to the Mercado de la Ribera (one of Europe’s largest covered markets) where you can sample local delicacies and sip your way through crisp Txakoli wines from nearby vineyards. At the end of your stay in Bilbao you’ll pick up your rental car which you will have at your disposal for the rest of the trip.
🚗 Bilbao – Rioja (3 nights): From Bilbao, it’s a scenic drive into the heart of Spain’s most celebrated wine region – Rioja. This area is a dream for wine lovers, with smooth, oak-aged reds made predominantly from the Tempranillo grape. An ideal place to base yourself is in Logroño, the lively regional capital, where an evening on Calle Laurel means hopping from one buzzing tapas bar to the next, indulging in traditional small plates with local wines. Explore the area further by touring the historic bodegas and the more modern wineries. Whether you’re enjoying a bold red in Rioja Alta or exploring the surrounds of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, or visiting an intimate, family-run vineyard in the quieter Rioja Oriental, you’ll get a great understanding of the region’s winemaking and food culture.
🚗 Rioja – San Sebastian (4 nights): After soaking up the wine country, you’ll swap vineyards for sea views as you drive north to San Sebastián – often hailed as Spain’s foodie capital. Set on the edge of Concha Bay, this coastal city has reportedly more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than any other city in the world. But you don’t need to do fine dining to eat well here. The real magic is in the pintxos bars. These offer Basque-style tapas spots where you can hop your way through the Old Town, soaking up the atmosphere and sipping local wine as you go. It’s a little bit like a sophisticated pub crawl with incredible food – washed down with a crisp Basque white or a glass of Rioja Crianza.
✈️ San Sebastian to UK: Make your way back to Bilbao for your return flight home to the UK.

One of the best travel agencies. They are very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend using Eshores.
Matt is always helpful and approachable. He is very knowledgeable and always answers my questions. We have just booked our third holiday with eShores. Everything ran like clockwork on the previous two occasions and tge hotels/locations were excellent
Really pleased with the service that I received from eshores. Michelle was absolutely brilliant in listening to my thoughts and then putting together a really exciting and cost effective trip for my wife and I later this year. I am so glad I found eshores and would thoroughly recommend you give them a try!
We have just booked our 5th holiday with eShores and, as before, have received prompt and friendly service and advice. Price quoted was, as always, very reasonable. If this holiday goes as smoothly as the others we'll be very happy.
This is not the first time we have used the services of eShores for our tailor made holiday, having dealt with the company for several years now. Once again, we are totally satisfied with the speed and efficiency of the whole process. It has re-inforced our view that eShores is a must first call for…

eShores have helped us with our travel plans a few times now and they are always helpful, finding us good places to stay and good value deals on flights, transfers and accommodation. Highly recommended.
They listened to all of our asks and we got just what we wanted!
Chris was fantastic! We wanted to visit Andalusia, especially Seville and Granada, but wanted some more free time than other tours seem to provide. Chris listened to our requirements, including which airports to use, number of nights at each hotel, rail transfers etc. Within 2 hours, Chris had put together a great itinerary for us,…
Excellent advice with very prompt responses
I was fortunate enough to stumble across eShores whilst googling Island Hopping holidays in Greece. From the very first point of contact with Leanne I have been nothing but impressed with the responsiveness and friendly professionalism I have received. All information provided has been clear and concise and the entire booking process has been a…
EShores are such a joy to work with. They take on board all requests and requirements, coming up with excellent holiday proposals that they are happy to refine as required. Have always been delighted with the friendly professional service, and have always been delighted with the holidays we have purchased. Highly recommended.
Matt was very knowledgable and put together an itinerary really quickly, which was competitively priced! Impressed so far!
I have used Eshores’s quite a few times now and they always come deliver a great service. Hannah was brilliant throughout our last couple of holidays and ensured everything went smooth. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
I have recently booked a multi centre holiday with Nick at eShores. He was great, he advised me with a few different destinations and timescales for each stop, with different price options also. Nothing was set in stone and I’m now looking forward to a wonderful holiday in Croatia.
This is the 1st time I have used Eshore or even booked a holiday online. Emily was so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything I asked for was dealt with by Emily professionally and with care and consideration. I would definately use her again in the future if this type of holiday was required…
Trip to Baltic capitals in June, options well presented and discussed and organised for me. Looks spot on & I've used eShores last year too so I expect it will prove to be a good trip.
