Coast

From Hondaribia on the French border to A Guarda on the Portugese, the north west coast of Spain, facing the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay, is packed with gems to delight the visitor. Here you won't find skyscraper hotels, just great swathes of undeveloped beaches with roaring surf, protected coves with spectacular rock formations, charming fishing villages, historic ports and Belle Epoque resorts. And all with a backdrop of the lofty mountains or rolling hills characteristic of Green Spain.
