My dad and I are considering doing part of the Camino de Santiago Compostela in October. Plan would be to fly in, go from Pamplona to Roncesvalles, then hike: - Roncesvalles to Zubiri - Zubiri to Pamplona - Pamplona to Puente de la Reina - Puente de la Reina to Estella With our schedule and the amount of days we can dedicate, we might also check out the general area:  Dad suggested Bilbao, and Id be happy with a day trip there. Any other places we should see, or things to do along the way?

It has a Guggenheim that looks cool on the outside but that has (or at least had) mediocre exhibits on the inside. Basically the Guggenheim was built to try to resurrect a dying industrial city that was probably Europe's #1 terrorist hotspot for decades, responsible for hundreds of attacks and thousands of deaths and injuries. That's all over though, the terrorist group in the area (ETA) was all arrested / killed / disbanded 10-ish years ago. PT6A - not sure if he still posts in this forum - talked up Logroņo for ages here, although I think it might have been his first trip to Spain so I'm not sure how it holds up against other options. E: Jesus, ETA was a lot more psychopathic than I thought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ETA_attacks Saladman fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Aug 3, 2022 |

Logroņo seems like a pretty natural ending point for the trip, actually - what's its deal? I see a lot of words about wine and tapas online, and poo poo I'm down for that at the very least.

I don't have plat but you could search the Europe thread in this forum ( https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3318901 ) for Logroņo and read about people's thoughts, and/or PM PT6A directly ( https://forums.somethingawful.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=90378 ) who I'm like 98% sure is the person who kept talking up Logroņo, and even went back at least once iirc.

I enjoyed Bilbao, though was only there for maybe two days I think? Donostia-San Sebastian is a fantastic gastronomy destination if youre into that, but I dont have specific recommendations on that front. Beautiful bay though!
