A little bit of everywhere...
We also managed a few days in the Picos and Northern Spain, think we may have overlapped with a few riders on here too, at the Hotel del Oso (I recognise the white RT Mark H).

A few days in the Picos and we found some quiet roads and had a few picnics (I know how to treat a lass…!)

Nothing wrong with a picnic. In fact for me (veggie) that would be a better option, compared to going and trying to order something from the menu.
 
And some interesting stone work around the Hotel

And a old blacksmiths stand or some such thing (I assume!)

We were lucky with the weather, next time (for a late September trip) I’d probably not be wearing my vented gear and I would definitely take some better waterproofs…

Great ‘first dip’ into the area, some great roads, some great food.

Well worth a visit if you haven’t been. Others on here have posted multiple routes and ‘must do’ roads, so no point me repeating. We tended to disappear up the less used / dead end roads up to remote alpine style villages - all in all a good explore.

The ferry was quiet, apart from the car alarms as we bounced a bit through the Bay.

I lost all the card games we could remember the rules for…

And got back late on the 30th, dripping wet and too tired to join my elders and betters (so they tell me) at the RTTW on the 1st, sadly.

Def on my list to visit.
 
Looks a great wee trip, didn't realise Bilboa was that nice. That hotel does feature in a lot of threads, might have to try it sometime
 
Bilbao has at least two funiculars… fun!

Hotel Del Oso certainly rates very highly. Staff attitude is great, food spectacular, views lovely and it has a pool thats (slightly) heated!
