Northern Spain with Sidequests

Northern Spain has one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe. Most people never see it. They fly to Barcelona, do the Camino, visit San Sebastián for a weekend and call it the north. The stretch between Galicia and the Basque Country — four regions, hundreds of kilometers of Atlantic cliffs, lighthouses, and wild beaches — stays largely off the radar. This guide covers that stretch. Not the famous version. The real one. Seven days, west to east. Starting at a Roman lighthouse on the Galician coast, ending on the sea stack steps of the Basque Country. The route hits the places that matter and skips the ones that only look important on generic travel lists. The structure is different from most guides. Each day is a stage, each location an objective. Main quests and sidequests, base cities and detours, practical intel and honest skip-it notes. It reads like a route file because that is exactly what it is. No filler. Just the north, as it actually is.
