3 days Basque Country in August - help figuring out a jumbled itinerary.
I generally like the countryside and food so Basque country seems perfect for me. I'll be landing on a friday and currently plan to stay in between Mungia and Bermeo.
I have a car and I'm wondering whether the towns like San Sebastian and Bilbao are necessary to get good food or are they too touristy and I can still get a great experience visiting smaller towns and restaurants for a more personal/local experience. Also heard that parking in smaller towns are a nightmare.
Currently my plans are quite random and focused on walks, hikes, and older ruins. I'll also have a car:
- San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
- Getaria (small town for grilled seafood)
- Bermeo (another town for seafood)
- Flysch Rocks
- GR 121 Guipúzcoa
- Anboto
Would really appreciate any thoughts on whether Im missing out by omitting the bigger towns. My thoughts are, since i live in the UK, i can always fly in next time and do those towns individually.
