Northern Spain, 3rd

'Green Spain', the rugged northern coast where Spain was born, offers no end of delights: wild mountains, frenzied festivals, ornate stork-topped cathedrals, La Rioja's wine country, and some of the world's finest seafood. This Cadogan classic takes you to the famous (and the infamous) sights of this increasingly popular region, beginning near the haunted pass at Roncesvalles, passing through boisterous Pamplona, glamorous San Sebastián and Bilbao with its shimmering new Guggenheim museum, picking out a trail of extraordinary Romanesque churches, and finishing at the great granite shrine of Santiago de Compostela, near Finisterre, the end of the world.
