Immerse yourself in the rich regional diversity of Spain
‘A Land of Contrasts’ – a well-worn cliché but never truer than in Spain.
From the verdant mountains and surf-washed coast of northern Spain through to the sub-tropical heat and Mediterranean beaches of Andalucia, passing through the high-and-dry plains of Inland Spain – landscapes, culture, gastronomy, even the people and the way they dress, vary enormously from region to region, forming a fascinating tapestry with endless possibilities to discover and explore.
Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians on conquest – all have left their mark. Marvel at the Roman remains in Catalonia, Castilla and Extremadura; the early Romanesque churches in the Spanish Pyrenees and Asturias or the awe-inspiring Moorish palaces of Sevilla and Granada.
Each touring region is like a country in itself, perhaps requiring a week or two to do it full justice, but all are well connected these days making cross-regional itineraries, sampling multiple cultures in one trip, a realistic proposition for a marvellous road trip!
Wherever you go Spain’s famous hospitality awaits as well as regional gastronomy and delicious local wines!

[name] => Santander to Santiago and back
[slug] => santander-santiago-circular-tour
[description] => This out-and-back tour is a great solution for those wishing to enter and return via the same Spanish airport, combing well for example with the routes from Manchester and Bristol to Bilbao or Dublin and Edinburgh to Santander.
The route follows close to one of the main ways of St James yet never far from the dramatic coastline and with the stunning Cordillera de Cantabria mountain range as a backdrop. From start to finish you’ll find great walking, superb food and wine, great cities and lovely, well preserved towns to investigate as well as the legacy of hundreds of years of pilgrimage.
The full route takes two weeks but you can do as little, or as much, as you like.
[introduction] => The classic Northern Spain itinerary adapted to combine with the ferry crossings to Bilbao and Santander. The stops are interleaved to keep driving times reasonable so you can cruise to Spain in style with your own car, motorbike or classic car – and discover north-west Spain at a leisurely pace.
