With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Santander, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Palacio de la Magdalena, Santander Ferry Terminal and Santander Cathedral. Situated 25 miles away, Bilbao is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, be sure to check out San Mames Stadium, Arriaga Theater and Bilbao City Hall.
