Northern Spain Must-sees
Hey everyone! I’m going to be in northern Spain with my wife for a week in June and I’m curious what some must see places are. We’ll be driving from Oviedo to San Sebastián for a week, stopping in a few locations during the trip. I understand we can’t see everything in a week (especially sad we’ll likely miss a lot of the Picos de Europa due to lack of time) but I want to be sure we see/do the coolest things.
We’re late 20s and enjoy food, wine/cider, beaches, and outdoors things (though she doesn’t like hiking much). From browsing this subreddit, I see a lot of fun activities to do but wanted to know what your best locations would be. Here’s where I’m looking for specific recommendations:
- cider house or winery
- beaches/beach towns
- cave cheese
- any local food
- Mountain View’s
- historical towns/buildings
Here are specifics I’ve heard we should visit, please let me know if they’re worth a stop:
- Ribadesalla
- Ruta de Cares (I understand this is a full day hike, are there any shorter ones that are recommended?)
- Quesería main
- Llanes
- Playa de Oyambre
- Mirador del acantilado de Bolao
- Playa de Berria
- Gaztelugatxeko Doniene
- Zarautz Beach
As a side question: I know there’s some great surfing in the area, is there any chance conditions would be good enough to surf in June?
