NW Spain/Rioja Itinerary Help
How does this NW Spain itinerary sound:
Barcelona: Three nights with a day trip maybe Girona? SO many choices and the flowers look lovely in May! Monastery also. Many many beautiful places.
Bilbao: At least three nights (four?) with day trip to Rioja one day and San Sebastian another. Nothing set in stone but this seems good to us.
Two nights at Marques de Riscal to unwind.
Back to Barcelona at the end for a couple of nights to rest and explore.
Our flights are in/out of Barcelona. We can hire a car but just don't want to this time. We have a total of twelve nights!
Also any wonderful hotel ideas always welcome! We looked at the Wittmore in Barcelona but it seems a little young. Haha!
Thank you.

Mikel is not permitted to say it here, so I will. He does a lot of day tours in, and from Bilbao. I’ve done his pintxos tour in Bilbao which was FABULOUS and four friends of mine did his San Sebastian tour and loved it. If you want a guide for Bilbao, San Sebastian or Rioja, look no further.

I’ve stayed a couple of times at Hotel Abando in Bilbao, the location is great, nice people working there, basic but comfy rooms. https://www.hotelabando.com/en/
Their sister hotel is the Carlton, it is more upscale.
