So I’m booked in for a night in Zaragoza in August to see the eclipse and the overnight ferry home from Santander the following day. I am now looking to fill in the other 6-10 days of a road trip.

I had originally planned to drive through France and travel the N-260 through the Pyrenees. However, we’ve just spent a few days in the mountains in Gran Canaria, and Mrs J really doesn’t like narrow roads with steep drop offs on the edges. So even by my standards, a few days on the N-260 just sounds cruel. I presuming that it is steep and narrow for much of its length?

Or, if we took the ferry out to Santander as well, would the Picos be any better? I’d love to explore the NW part of Spain.

This will be our first European adventure in the DB9, so any guidance and advice on a fun route would be gratefully received.

Book at least a night in San Sebastián and one in Bilbao.
I spent four night in San Sebastián just coming out of lockdown. Awesome food and wonderful to do it without the old town being too crowded.
