✈️ UK to 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 Jeff Koons and Louise Bourgeois. After immersing yourself in art, take a leisurely stroll through the historic Old Town, where you’ll find pinchos bars (Basque tapas) and the Mercado de la Ribera, one of Europe’s largest covered markets. 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 to Vitoria-Gasteiz (3 nights): In the morning, you’ll take the hour’s drive south to your next stop, Vitoria-Gasteiz, renowned for being one of the greenest cities in Europe with numerous parks, gardens, and green areas dotted around to relax in. The city’s Old Town features medieval architecture, narrow streets, historic buildings and pretty squares including the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, a lively square flanked by little cafes and restaurants. Nearby, the 13th century Cathedral of Santa Maria offers a wonderful example of Gothic architecture.
🚗 Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian (4 nights) with optional extension: Before you head north again for your next stop to San Sebastian, you could consider a short detour to Rioja Alavesa, a region renowned for its wines. You could even extend your trip and stay here for one or two nights, enjoying some wine tasting amidst the vineyards. When you reach San Sebastian, you can unwind with four nights of coastal relaxation. Relax on La Concha Beach, explore the pinchos bars of the pretty Old Town or indulge in the world class cuisine at one of the many gastronomic restaurants. You could also consider a day trip to Biarritz, just across the border in France, which offers a wonderful contrast from San Sebastian and is easily accessible by bus. You could also spend the day at one of the picturesque coastal towns nearby such as the fishing village of Getaria, the surf haven of Zarautz or the historic Hondarribia.
✈️ San Sebastian to Bilbao to UK: Time to make your way back to Bilbao for your return flight home to the UK. However, on the way, you should consider making a short detour to Guernica, a town made famous by Picasso’s famous painting which is based on his outrage about the town being bombed in 1937 by the German air force.

Once again 5* brilliance
I spoke with Matt, who was amazing. I told him what I was looking for, and he sent me the quote which was exactly what I had in mind. The booking process was very straightforward and the service so far has been excellent.
Kadie at eShores is really helpful and responds to enquiries really quickly. We used them for a trip to Turkey in 2025, all tranfers went smoothly and the chosen hotels were lovely and of good value. I defintely recomend them
Claire has been very helpful and knowledgeable dealing with our recent enquiry and booking ..she has returned my phone calls as promised and I know I am able to contact her if the need arises ..which it probably will between now and our holiday in Jan '27 😊

Exceptional Service from eShores — Dave Went Above and Beyond We recently booked our holiday through eShores, and working with Dave made the entire experience outstanding. His knowledge of our chosen destination was second to none — every suggestion he made felt thoughtful, well‑researched, and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. What really…
Excellent prompt service from Nick and his associates, adaptable to our needs and budget.
Always great service and every holiday we have booked Dave has been so patient and understanding of what we wanted from each trip.
Although my holiday is still some months in the future, the services provided by eShores (Dave Felton) have been exemplary. I never, ever use travel agents or intermediaries for holidays but a potential business class trip to Lombok and Bali presented new challenges in not knowing those islands. I laid out my general requirements and…
Great service prompt and great deal
