Santiago de Compostela

Located in the heart of Galicia, Santiago de Compostela is the third-largest holy city of the Christian world. Medieval pilgrims, rich and poor alike, made this town famous by traveling from all over Europe to visit the shrine of apostle St James, whose remains are said to be buried in the city's cathedral. The city is a university town as well as a marketplace for Galician farmers. In addition, it is one of the most romantic and historic cities in Spain.

Visit The City of Culture of Galicia, Museo del Pueblo Gallego, Monastery of San Martino Pinario, Praza do Obradoiro, Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Alameda Park, and more.

Santander

While not as glamorous as San Sebastian, the city of Santander is a great alternative if you want to avoid the summer crowds. Noteworthy, Santander had its 27 years of royal fame in the early 20th century, when it became a residence for Alfonso XIII. Largely rebuilt after a 1941 fire, Santander has three main beaches. However, most visitors head for the smaller resort of El Sardinero, only 1 ½ miles away. An alternative during high season is El Puntal, a beautiful beach only 15 minutes away by boat.

Visit The Cathedral of Santander, The Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria, Centro Botin, Gran Casino Sardinero, Magdalena Peninsula, Palacio de la Magdalena, and so much more!

Gijon

Founded nearly 3,000 years ago as a fishing village, Gijón is nowadays an important port on the Atlantic coast of Spain. The historic fishing village, known as Cimadevilla, is located on a peninsula that divides the port in half. The village is the main tourist attraction of the city. Take a hike up to Cerro de Santa Catalina and admire the magnificent view of the outstretched coastline forming the port. On the very edge of the peninsula is a sculpture the size of a house, Elogio del Horizonte, or Praise of the Horizon.

Visit The Acuario de Gijon/Xixon, Playa de Poniente, San Lorenzo Beach, Atlantico Botanical Garden, Playa de La Nora, and more!

Bilbao

Known as an industrial town, Bilbao is the largest port in Spain, as well as a major rail hub, serving as a departure point for most of Basque's country attractions. To international tourists, Bilbao is a place with great food and also home to the controversial $100 million Guggenheim Museum, which was designed by the famed American architect Frank Gehry. You should not allocate more than 2 days for visiting this city, as most of the sights can be viewed in less than 48 hours.

Visit Begonako Basilika, Plaza Nueva, Bilbao Cathedral, Azkuna Zentroa, Zubizuri, Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park, the Guggenheim Museum, and more.
