You are right Tom. Wonderful even for Europeans like me as I'm getting introduced to places I've yet to visit. I know you have a very definite schedule for your current trip but, if you have time, I urge you to take a short diversion between Bilbao and Logrono and visit San Sebastian. You may have been before but if you haven't it is the most wonderful seaside city 70 miles or so along the coast from Bilbao.
