Well that depends where you’d like to go. Downtown Bilbao, about 3 miles from Bilbao Airport (BIO), can be challenging to drive around. Make things easy by picking something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. That being said, Bilbao is an excellent base to explore some of the shingle seashores around Biscay. If your escape is more about clocking up those miles, you may want something with a little more comfort and room to move. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
