      Day 1: Hola España: Road Trip Vibes In The Mysterious North!

      Can you feel the tingling sensation? At the latest when the plane takes off for Spain, it spreads through you. Your thirst for adventure is boundless and before you know it, you’re in Madrid! You immediately leave the capital behind you: your hire car is ready and waiting. You take the wheel, turn up the music and step on the gas pedal - that’s how a road trip works! Your destination is the mysterious north of the country - Soria to be precise! Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the small historic town appears before you. As soon as you have parked the rental car and stowed your luggage in the hotel, you set off on your first discovery tour of the old town. And it feels like a journey through time: narrow, medieval alleyways, historic buildings that tell a centuries-old story and the mighty church of Santo Domingo from the 12th century. A must see? The fantastic view from the Mirador de los cuatro vientos!

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Pamplona: In The Footsteps Of Hemingway!

      Yesterday’s road trip stage was just the beginning - so get in your rental car and off you go! Urban contrasts await you between the endless fields and green hills. A stop in Logroño in the province of Rioja? It’s a must! The pretty town with its historic merchants’ houses is known for one thing above all: wine growing. Continue to the capital of the Navarra region. One thing is immediately clear to you: the clocks tick slower in Pamplona. The narrow streets with their colorful house facades and ornate balconies immediately cast a spell over you. On the main square Plaza del Castillo is the Iruña, the oldest café in the city - pure nostalgia! What do you order here? Preferably pinchos. By the way: Ernest Hemingway also loved the Art Nouveau-style café! You can enjoy a great view of Pamplona from the Balarte del Redín viewpoint. Have you noticed the bull statues? Pamplona has an old tradition of the annual Fiesta de San Fermín, which is famous for its running of the bulls.

      Day 3: On The Road: All Roads Lead To The Basque Country!

      Pays Basque, Pais Vasco, Euskadi - all roads lead to the Basque Country! Rugged coastlines, historic towns, endless beaches ... First stop: San Sebastián. Can you hear the sound of the waves yet? By the time you put your toes in the sand on the city’s La Concha beach, you’ll have the most beautiful sound in the world in your ears. Did you know that the city boasts 16 Michelin stars? Sounds like you should urgently check whether San Sebastián lives up to its reputation as a world-class gourmet city. Continue along the coast to Gaztelugatxe. Does the small island look familiar? Then it’s probably because you’ve watched the series "Game of Thrones", which was filmed here, among other places. You can hardly tear your eyes away, but your destination for the day is already waiting. Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque Country, welcomes you with an unusual mix of tradition and modernity. Is your stomach growling? Then head to the old town. The historic alleyways are lined with bars and restaurants. How about some tapas (called pintxos in Bilbao)?

      Day 4: Avant-Garde &Amp; Tradition: City Strolls À La Bilbao!

      Are you ready to make Bilbao unsafe? One thing was immediately clear to you: you’ve never experienced Spain like this before. So it’s high time to take a closer look at the city. There is not much left to see of the former industrial city. Instead, the metropolis is now a real magnet for art and architecture enthusiasts. Must-do: A visit to the Guggenheim Museum (optional, payable on site). The futuristic building alone is a real highlight. Later, follow in the footsteps of the past at Plaza Nueva. Snapshots of the colorful house facades in Casco Viejo and the white Zubizuri bridge in the box? Perfect! Fancy a little break? Doña Casilda Park is the perfect spot for a picnic at sunset. Between water fountains, palm trees and green meadows, you can watch as the darkness slowly but surely displaces the colorful play of the sun.

      The next stage of your road trip lies ahead of you. So get in your rental car and off you go: Santander is calling! What makes the capital of the Cantabria region so special? It is more authentically Spanish and less touristy than almost any other city. The rocky peninsula of La Magdalena is a real highlight. You wander through the park and suddenly find yourself in front of the palace of the same name. Fairytale vibes? Another must-see: the mysterious cave paintings of Altamira. Still not satisfied with your thirst for adventure? Then a stop in San Vicente de la Barquera is a must. The former fishing village with its beautiful bays and the mighty, snow-capped peaks of the Picos de Europa mountains seems to be straight out of a picture book - what a view! On we go to Gijón! Park the rental car, stow the suitcases and head into the city. Order a cider and toast your adventure with the sweet cider. It’s the drink of the Asturias region! In Gijón, the love of cider goes so far that the Fiesta de la Sidra Natural is celebrated over several days. Cheers!

Follow the winding paths through the lush greenery and enjoy the peace and quiet. Just a stone’s throw away is the Laboral University, which also hosts art exhibitions and theater performances. Ready for a city adventure? Head to the Cimadevilla district. Colorful house facades, bustling plazas and charming historic buildings - let yourself drift through the old town and watch the daily hustle and bustle over a cup of coffee. Cimadevilla also has another face: the rugged Atlantic coast. For the perfect view, head up to the gigantic Elogio del Horizonte sculpture. The waves lash deep below you and your gaze wanders over the long sandy beaches while you think about which beach to put your feet in the sand on.

      Mountains follow the Atlantic coast. In the south of Asturias, the Peña Ubiña massif rises up before you in the Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Nature Park. The area is not only home to otters, deer and foxes, but also to an incredible variety of plants. So put on your hiking boots and off you go! Traditional mountain villages, cave paintings from the Bronze Age, huge plateaus and deep gorges - getting close to nature has never been more exciting! Your road trip continues and you jet over the Carlos Fernández Casado Bridge at the Luna reservoir. The lake nestles into the landscape of green and gray mountains - stunningly beautiful, isn’t it? Today’s destination: Léon! Did you know that the city is considered the birthplace of the Spanish nation? Follow in the footsteps of the past in the old town. What immediately catches your eye: the gigantic city wall with its many round towers and the huge cathedral. Be sure to take a look inside the Gothic masterpiece (optional, payable on site).

      The capital is calling. Ready for Madrid? Turn up the road trip playlist and step on the gas pedal. You’ll be jetting through the vastness of northern Spain’s countryside until Sahagún appears in front of you, a sleepy little town on the Way of St. James. Are you wondering why everything looks different here? It’s because of the Islamic style elements that can be found in the architecture of the churches and monasteries. Alternatively, you can make a stop in Valladolid. From the distinctive cultural scene and magnificent palaces to the historic old town, there is always something new to discover. Once you arrive in Madrid, you can hardly wait to take a closer look at the capital. Stately buildings, monuments steeped in history, pretty gardens, colorful markets - what are you waiting for? On the Gran Vía you are right in the middle of it all. Life pulsates here. It’s not without reason that the street is considered the lifeline of Madrid. Are you looking for the perfect dinner spot?

Soccer fans will be familiar with the square, as this is where Real Madrid celebrates its victories and championships.
