Discover a different Spain

Whilst Spain is one of the most popular destinations in Europe and deservedly so; Northern Spain is a Purpose Travel favourite. This region is often less crowded than its Southern and Central counterparts and still provides stunning sands and lots to do. The wild unspoilt countryside and mountains are perfect for long walks and there are charming cities to choose from packed with history too. 

There are the better known Northern Spanish cities like Bilbao and San Sebastian with their incredible dining scenes and numerous attractions. Or there is coastal Cantabria which offers gorgeous beach and rugged mountain scenery. Inland, wine region, Rioja provides the perfect retreat for food and wine lovers with a more rural getaway to rival those of France and Italy.  Whilst our featured destinations are Bilbao, San Sebastian, Santander and Rioja our suppliers cover all of Spain so we can tailor your trip for you. 

Some of the best things to do in Northern Spain

  • sampling some of the incredible wine in the Rioja region

  • hiking some (or all) of the famous Camino de Santiago trails

  • catching some sun at one of the numerous stunning sandy beaches in San Sebastian

  • walking in the Cantabrian mountains and seeing some of the diverse wildlife on offer as well as panoramic sweeping views of the coast

  • seeing the historical attractions on offer in port cities Bilbao or Santander

Majestic Mountains and Gorgeous Greenery

Northern Spain has been working hard on keeping its tourist attractions green. For example, there are lots of protected national parks and UNESCO world heritage sites. As well as more specific measures to protect wildlife like the Brown Bears in the Cantabrian mountains. 

Given the proximity to the UK, there are train and ferry options for this beautiful region. Plus, there are lots of eco-stays and resorts to choose from, so you can be sure you are minimising your impact. Our travel specialists can help you choose the best options for you.
