Small-Group Day Trip from Biarritz or Bayonne: Guggenheim Bilbao and San Sebastián
Two cities in a day, in a small group, starting from Biarritz or Bayonne. Bilbao comes first, with the Guggenheim and then a guided walk through the Old Town. Lunch is pintxos with local wines, after which the group continues to San Sebastián for La Concha Beach, its Old Town and the city's food scene.
The Bilbao half pairs Gehry's titanium building, opened in 1997, with the arcades of Plaza Nueva and the Ribera Market, which opened in 1929 and covers 10,000 square meters. San Sebastián comes after lunch, with the seafront at La Concha and the narrow streets of the Parte Vieja.
The mix is museum, old streets and eating, and the day gives each a share rather than concentrating on one. The route crosses the border between France and Spain, so travelers from outside the EU bring a passport.
