    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach us at  if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    (from high $$$ to low $)


    Bilbao: Gran Hotel Domine, Hotel Ercilla Bilbao, anywhere near Old Town


    Logroño: Aurea Palacio, AC Marriot Rioja, FG Logrono


    San Sebastián: Maria Christina, Lasala Plaza, Room Mate Gorka, Atari, Londres, Orly, Barcelo Costa, Zaragoza Plaza, any Pension

    Short answer, yes. The Bilbao airport (BIO) has tons of options and they tend to be affordable. There are buses, trains, and taxis too (little to no Uber, sadly) and while they are possible, cars will give you the most freedom. Several people will likely have room in their cars, so if you are traveling solo, and hope to jump in with someone, let me know and we can likely find you a ride. Or I can help you find a buddy to share with. 

    Have Euros on hand (get them from an ATM), always choose Euros when given the option if paying by card or Apple Pay (most places take contactless payment), and no gifts -- just come hungry, please!


    **ALSO HAVE ROOM IN YOUR SUITCASE FOR WINE TO BRING HOME**

    (or better yet, bring an extra suitcase just for this purpose)
