Hi,
Your post is great! Wondering if you could help with some trip planning advice? I’m taking my daughter to Spain in July for her High School graduation present. She has taken 4 years of Spanish and wants to practice it on our trip. Is that possible in the Basque area? We will be doing a home exchange for about 10 days, so we’ll have a base to explore from. Any suggestions on where to base ourselves? We’d love to explore all the areas you’ve listed but I don’t thing that’s possible in only 10 days. We love the idea of staying in a medieval village or small town but not a sleepy one. Someplace that has enough for us to do during the day and at night especially if we decide to stay put for a few days. Would love any suggestions you might have. We can travel either by car or train/bus.
Thanks!

@Val – I loved Cantabria. I’ve also been to Besalu and agree, it’s incredible.

Lovely article! I’ve visited Cantabria and wanted so badly to make it to Asturias, but time didn’t allow! I’ll definitely be back, Spain has a special place in my heart because I taught English down in Andalucia for a year 🙂 My fave village is in Catalunya, nearby to Girona. It’s called Besalu and it’s absolutely incredible! Feels like you’ve stepped back in time and I didn’t want to leave!

Reallly beautiful houses, but the boats may be even more picturesque.
