With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Castro Urdiales, 30 miles away, has to offer. Orinon Beach, Brazomar Beach and Santa Maria Church alone make the drive out worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you toward Bilbao, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s San Mames Stadium. (But we’re also huge fans of Arriaga Theater and Bilbao City Hall.)
