Madrid to Bilbao

Bilbao reinvented itself around the Guggenheim: since 1997 Gehry’s titanium on the riverbank has turned an industrial city into a destination. Across the water is the Casco Viejo with its seven streets and its pintxo bars, and fifteen minutes downstream stands the Vizcaya Bridge — a World Heritage site, and the first transporter bridge ever built, working since 1893.

North on the A-1 to Burgos, then the AP-1 through Vitoria and down the Nervión valley to the estuary. The last hour turns green and the land closes in, which after four hours of tableland is a change you notice.

The Casco Viejo is largely pedestrian and awkward with luggage, so we get as close as the city allows and agree the exact point when you book. One way as priced; the return or a multi-day itinerary is quoted separately.
