On this 5 night itinerary our local experts will reveal some hidden gems and special places to visit in Cantabria and Castilla y León. In fact these locations, all accessed via scenic roads, are so exceptional that you will struggle to find them in any travel guide.

Travelling by car is easy as the quality of the road network is very good, most of the motorways are free and fuel is much cheaper than in the rest of Europe.
