Basque Country & La Rioja, Spain

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Basque Country and La Rioja are two of Spain's most compelling regions, stretching from the rugged Cantabrian coast inland to the sun-drenched Ebro Valley wine heartland. The Basque Country is famed for its distinct language and culture, world-class pintxos scene, the cosmopolitan city of Bilbao — home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum — and dramatic cliffs and surf beaches along the Costa Vasca. La Rioja, Spain's most celebrated wine-producing region, draws visitors for its prestigious Tempranillo vineyards, historic bodegas, and the medieval pilgrimage town of Logroño. Together, they offer a rich mix of gastronomy, culture, coastal scenery, and outdoor adventures including hiking sections of the Camino de Santiago.

Self-Launched: Hike, E-Bike & Wine in Spain's Basque Country

A self-launched 6-day foodie and multi-activity adventure through the Rioja Alavesa wine region and San Sebastian. Independently hike a stretch of the Camino de Santiago, e-bike the Via Verde del Cidacos past olive groves to the Arnedillo thermal springs, stroll the Wine & Fish Route (GR38), and finish on the dramatic Flysch coastal trail (GR121) with pintxo-hopping and Basque cheesecake in San Sebastian. Using public buses, local rentals and self-bookable tastings instead of a guided group, you get the same landscapes and flavours for a fraction of the tour price. Costs are approximate per person in GBP.
