We found a week with nothing special on the calendar and the weather forecast was good for northern Spain. Booked an AirBnB in a small town called Zumarraga in the beautiful Basque country which was great, comfortable, well equipped and a bar on the ground floor! The bonus was that it was only 3.5 hours from home.
The walking was spectacular but was it steep!!! Took us 5 hours to do 8 miles with appropriate stops of course.
and yes, we did see a real eagle.

found a nice river valley which led to the beach so cycled there, had
lunch and passed a very pleasant afternoon on the sand in 29 degree
sun. C obviously cycled further!
and an easier walk the fourth day.
Last day was cloudy but found another nice cycle route to finish the short break before stocking up on cheap Spanish booze. May well go again!
Have started watching "Race across the world" and are getting itchy feet!
