Hello, I will be visiting Zarautz for about a week this summer, and would like to know the best way to get there. Which airport should I fly into (I will most likely be flying from Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup), and how can I get to Zarautz from that airport? It seems like San Sebastian and Bilbao are my two closest options, but I would love any insight, as I can't read a word of either Spanish or Basque. Thanks in advance!

Being a pale pasty Londoner, I need a sunshade when I go to the beach. Does anyone know whether I will be able to hire them on the beach or whether I will need to purchase one from a shop?

I will be traveling thru Bilbao next month but will only have 1 day and night in the city. Could anyone make a recommendation on what I "need to see and do" while in the city. It will be my first visit to the city. Dining suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm intending to get travel by land (preferably by train) from San Sebastian to Italy (Florence to be exact) in June. I wondered if anyone has done this or can tell me if it is possible to do easily. I've never traveled by train in Europe so not sure how easy it is. Looking at raileurope.com it looks very possible but could involve lots of changes. Could I do it in a day?

Any help most welcome

We are a group of 5 and would like to take a day trip to Tafalla from San Sebastian, what would be the best form of transit for this?

What is taxi fare from ship pier to guggenheim museum.

My friend and I are on a road trip through Northern Spain next week and we will be in San Sebastian when my team Liverpool play Chelsea in the Champions League. Can anyone recommend a place to watch the game where there will be some good atmosphere.

Hi We are going to Portsmouth (with P & O Ferries)from Bilbao. We arrive the day before and need to know where we should look to stay (not too expensive). It should be somewhere which has parking and is close enough to get to the ferry terminal the next morning. Any ideas greatly recieved!

Hi,
We are 8 persons who will stay in Bilbao for some days next month. We enjoy good local cousine, and are looking forward to explore what Bilbao has to offer. Could anyone give us some advice about where to eat? We are both interested in pintxos and other local food.

We are looking for transportation choices (bus, train or ??)from Bilbao to the beginning of the Camino trail at St. Jean Pied de Port. The ALSA website doesn't seem to list any bus itineraries from Bilbao that include our pilgrimage access point. I also had some trouble in looking up a single ticket by train.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Was hoping that someone could help me plan a drive from San Sebastian to Zaragoza.

How long would it take to make the drive if I passed through Pamplona and detoured to Jaca & Huesca, before heading into Zaragoza? It seems like the drive thru Tudela would be quicker but not as pretty. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Any suggestions for places to stop during the drive?

Would like to take train from Biarritz to San Sebastian in late June 2008. Can't seem to find info, can anyone please provide guidance. Are there direct trains, or must one change at Hendaye. Is it a pretty journey, or am I better off driving? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

My wife is arriving at Bilbao about 5pm on a Wednesday in April, after a 30+ hour flight from Australia. She has accommodation booked in Azpeitia. Is a taxi the best way to get to Azpeitia? Is it easy to get a taxi? About how much will the fare be?

I am looking for an hotel (2/3*) in the San Sebastian area on April 20th. before taking a ferry from Santander the next day. I've looked on VT but not found anything suitable.
Anywhere within 20-30 minutes of San Sebastian would be fine.

Recommendations and/or Suggestions greatly appreciated.

My wife and I want to plan an end of June/ July 2008, vacation to the Basque country touching France as well as spanish soil, continuing and making stops through northern Spain to Santiago the Compostela. This has to be a tour or private tour since we do not drive. What is out there that is recommended, on middle to a higher end of a budget.We are plannning on 2 full week vacation departing from NYC,US.
Our focus would be on sightseeing,gourmet,tastings;local flavor and living;food markets;
history and art, etc;
Thanks
Walter
PS:Any suggestions are most welcome

Hi!!

I am wondering what would be the best way to get from Bibao airport to san sebastian. I am arriving at the Bilbao airport on a saturday night around 8:45pm. Any ideas?

My husband and I will be arriving by cruise ship in May, and like to tour on our own. How far is the cruise terminal to the city, and what is the transportation and cost?

5 of us will be arriving at San Sebastian Airport on June 9th. We are staying at the Hotel Maria Cristina. Is there an airport shuttle from the airport or is a taxi a better bet, keep in mind we have luggage for 5. How much does a taxi cost from the airport? Thanks!

How much should I pay from the airport to Esquina Plaza Arenal 2. Is there a good bus service direct?

Hello We are staying very near Arenal in Bilbao, but we arrive on Saturday morning and leave Monday afternoon. I am desperate to buy a reasonably priced ladies leather jacket. Can anyone suggest the best shops please. Also how long does it take to walk to Moyua area from Arenal 2, and where is the 'Old Town?' Many thanks for your help.
Ps what is Hello and Goodbye and Thank You in Euskera! I do speak quite good Spanish - I have lived in Canary Isles, Costa del sol, Ibiza and Majorca!

Hola!

Can anyone give me a suggestion, what's the best way of traveling from Barcelona to Vitoria in March?

I really like train journeys, but at RENFE's page I found just long route plans with many changes. And I don't find the price of this relation.

I don't know anything about spanish coach network. Are there private bus companies? Is there a company which runs direct bus from Barcelona to Vitoria?

Is the "autostop" an usual thing in Cataluna and at the Basque Conutry?

Thank you for your helps!
