The Picos de Europa National Park offers some of Europe's most spectacular mountain scenery. Your guide and driver, Juan Fernandez Buelga is a knowledgeable person with a BSc in Geology but more important, lots of experience touring north Spain. He can design a customized full day tour starting in the city of Bilbao, driving into the Cantabria and Asturias provinces, enjoying time in the heart of the Picos de Europa. Important: included in the price are quality meals and drinks (lunch, dinner and snacks). While professionally I am focused in geology some people consider I am a true foodie so I always point to my customers to the type of food that they like for each moment. This is only a one day tour but it is enough to visit Cantabria and the Picos de Europa, starting from Bilbao.

Inclusions: Finger food, Main meal in one of the best restaurants of the area. Exact location will depend on availability and / or wishes of the client. Possibility of snack - sandwich in the mountains IF THE CLIENT PREFERS., A selection of "pinchos and tapas" (finger food) in selected places., Alcoholic Beverages, Fuente De cable car tickets, All entrance fees to cultural buildings and museums., Personal photographer

Our tour guide Juan was a true pleasure! He has so much knowledge of Northern Spain and an excellent driver!!!! Those mountains are no joke! Juan was punctual and made our entire day full of stops and memories to last a lifetime. Being with the locals and eating outside the “typical” tourist locations was a really treat. If I could I would have requested him for more touring days in Northern Spain. En verdad fue un tour excepcional que nos vamos a recordar por muchas años. Gracias por tu guía Juan y toda la atención que nos distes. Hasta fotos bellas!

This was the best surprise during our trip. We expected a quick walk through the stadium and a picture. We got so much more. It delivers everything it says on the website. The stadium was quite a walk so wear comfortable shoes. If you go in the winter (or a cooler day like we did) bring a warm jacket as the tunnels can be cold and breezy. That was the only minor inconvenience. Everything else was great. The tour delivers on it's promise and there's so much to see! I recommend setting aside 2-3 hours if you like to take your time and see all the history and do the audio tour. You get more out of it if you're into soccer or the team but is great even for the casual fan. Have fun with it and enjoy the day.
