Follow one of the original pilgrimage routes to Santiago between Bilbao and Santander. 'El Camino del Norte' originates from the 9th Century and was one of the original Camino routes for pilgrims walking to Santiago de Compostela. Sheltered from the rest of the Muslim dominated Iberian Peninsula by the Picos de Europa and Cordillera Cantabrica, it was considered the safest route for Christian pilgrims making their way to the tomb of St James. The full route starts in Irun near the French border and joins the French route at Arzua. This third stage, from the bustling city of Bilbao, home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum, takes you through a variety of landscapes and architecture, both ancient and modern, while staying in small hotels with local character. The dramatic coastline and mountain paths make the northern way both challenging and rewarding, whilst the quieter trails offer a great alternative to the more popular French route.

Reviews of our Santander Tours for August
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Santander during August.
Anonymous | Traveled in August
Itinerary was very good. Always a balancing act regarding visiting all of the "mandatory tourist spots" versus staying in a town an extra day. Taking the trip in mid July was challenging due to the hot temperatures, for me, it has detracted from the overall memories. Nonetheless, Cordoba and Gilbralter were stunning. Our tour director was knowledgeable and skillfull in managing all the personalities (particularly the troublesome ones).
Anonymous | Traveled in August
This was an outstanding tour, with one exception. Our bus was without wi-fi for several days. It disappointed me that although we were in several major cities, it took nearly a week to get the part that was needed to repair this. The tour director’s comment that “10 years ago none of these buses had wi-fi, it’s no big deal” was not helpful. For those working remotely and needing to be connected, it was a big deal. Ten years ago, there was no remote work, and if it is advertised that this is available, people make plans based on that information. I ended up using time at the hotel that I could have been out exploring my destination, because I finally had access to wi-fi. Again, it was a great trip but I just wanted to level set about the importance of something that might be viewed as minor to others.
Rebecca R. | Traveled in August
The architecture and historical background of the country was amazing. You get a very in depth look at the history of the country and see many beautiful places. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and take excellent care of all travelers. However, there is a lot of time on the bus and not a lot of free time to explore the cities. Some of the hotels were not ideally located making it hard to enjoy the location to the fullest. The food in Spain was way more bland than I anticipated and the people of Spain were not very welcoming. In fact, of all the countries I have visited, the people in Spain have been the most rude.

I really enjoyed myself the director was brilliant. I felt some of the hotels were not up to standard particularly in Teledo it was too far away from everything.
