Railbookers · Independent rail package

San Sebastian and Bilbao

Rail loop from Madrid to Basque Country's San Sebastian and Bilbao

Railbookers runs this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package that starts and ends in Madrid, with a loop into Spain's Basque Country connected by train. From Madrid, the train reaches San Sebastian, a seaside resort on the Bay of Biscay described in the evidence as surrounded by rolling green hillsides and mountains. The route continues to Bilbao, home to the Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Gehry, before the trip returns to Madrid. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own sightseeing in each city and make their own way to the train for each leg. The night-by-night schedule across Madrid, San Sebastian, and Bilbao is not detailed beyond the total of 9 days and 8 nights. It suits independent travelers who want to pair a coastal Basque Country stop with Bilbao's landmark architecture, at a starting price of 1,449 US dollars per person.
