Traveling from portugal going to San Sebastian, Spain
We are taking a lovely vacation in Portugal and need to drive to San Sebastián, Spain and into France. Does anyone have any ideas the most scenic or fastest way to drive there?
|
Please note that if you pick up the car in Portugal and do not return the car to Portugal, there is usually a high drop off penalty. And some rental companies will do it all.
|
Ok. Thanks for tip.

If driving taking the Duoro Valley route from Porto towards spain and Salamanca, a sonderful city and then via Leon, also nice to Burgos - bilboa a wslight detour to Salamanca.
There is an overnight train from Lisbon and Port to goes direct to San Sebastia/Donostia - the latter the name preferred bu local Basques over the Spanish occupiers name San Sebastian. then take the Train Eskro commuter train to Hendaye, France and pick up a car there to avoid possible steep dropoff charges like IMDonehere mentions. |
BTW if you drive in spain it is a law I believe that if you wear glasses needed to drive you must have a spare pair with you at all times in the car - roadside checks for various things may include this!
|
if you're driving, I would suggest Salamanca, Valladolid [don't miss the polychromatic sculpture museum - honestly, it's terrific1] and Burgos.
|
Yes, as suggested, if driving from Porto, Salamanca and then Burgos would be great stops on the way to San Sebastian.
Probably 3 to 4 hours drive between cities We were in these cities a few months ago for the first time and loved them. |
thanks for the suggestions.
