Day 3 - Madrid -Segovia -Pedraza -Bilbao
We leave for the lands of Castile. Beautiful landscapes crossing mountains. Arrival in SEGOVIA, and circumambulating the city, we arrive at the Viewpoint of the Pradera de San Marcos, from where we will have the best views of the Alcázar of Segovia (which inspired Walt Disney for the witch´s castle in Sleeping Beauty) and its walls. Later we will park next to the Roman aqueduct of Segovia, built in the 1st century, although in use until 1973 and currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will have free time to walk through the old part of the city, heading to the Plaza Mayor, where you can see the cathedral and the Alcázar.
We continue our route along small roads that allow us to appreciate the towns and landscapes on the way to PEDRAZA, considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, a powerfully walled medieval town, cobblestone streets, historic buildings, Plaza Mayor and its fortress that dates back to the 13th century. Time for lunch. In the afternoon we continue our route to the Basque Country. Arrival in BILBAO. We recommend a walk through the old town with its numerous taverns and bars, where you can taste the famous “pintxos”.

Day 4 - Bilbao -Portugalete -Guernica -San Sebastián
Today we will get to know Bilbao and its estuary, where the Guggenheim Museum stands out with its striking exterior architecture, the old town, the old medieval center with its streets full of life, its cathedral or, in the estuary, in Portugalete, the Vizcaya Bridge (admission included), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for being the world´s first ferry bridge for pedestrians and vehicles. Free time for a walk and lunch. We recommend La Ribera Market for lunch, which offers stalls with typical Basque cuisine in a boat-like structure, located in front of the river.
After lunch time we will leave for GUERNICA, known for being the place, where one of the worst massacres of the Spanish Civil War, remembered in the painting of Pablo Picasso, was fought. Here is the Tree of Gernika, under whose branches the Basque Country was granted autonomy in the Middle Ages. We continue towards HONDARRIBIA (Fuenterrabía) with its beaches, its walls, its maritime atmosphere and its historic center, where the grid layout of its narrow, cobbled streets may only surprise us. Time in the historic center.
We continue to SAN SEBASTIAN, arrival in the evening. We suggest visiting the “Old Town” famous for its lively pintxos bars and vibrant atmosphere, a popular destination for food lovers. Each establishment has its own specialty and style, making exploring and trying different pintxos an exciting and delicious experience.
