reen Spain is the gorgeous, plush area in the north of
Spain that includes Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria,
Pais Vasco, Navarra and La Rioja.
Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia, is the holiest
shrine in the Christian world outside of Jersusalem and Rome.
It houses the 12th century Cathedral and tomb of the remains of
St. James the Apostle. Every year, thousands of pilgrims
journey to this charming city, famous for its white wine,
seafood and bewitching charm.
Bilbao, Spain’s fourth largest city, is a major European port
with easy access to mountains and sandy beaches. Recently,
the Guggenheim Museum opened, drawing thousands of
tourists to see its collection of modern art and the impressive
building. Bilbao can be visited as a day trip from Barcelona or
Madrid.
San Sebastian is a charming beach town that is also rich in
history and personality. This town is known for its seafood
tapas (bar snacks), cider and “Belle Epoque” character. It hosts
an international film festival every September.
Pamplona, thanks to Ernest Hemmingway, is known the world
over for its annual Feast of San Fermin where locals celebrate
with the “Running of the Bulls”. The celebration takes place in
early July and runs for a week. We can arrange for you to
witness this spectacle from the balcony of a local home.
Santander is another one of Green Spain’s beach towns. This
is a great area to relax, soak up the rays and experience a more
cosmopolitan Spanish town. It is also an ideal spot for
exploring this area, the Picos de Europa Mountains and other
major cities. Near Santander are the Altamira Caves and the
museum in Santillana del Mar. Santander is also the gateway
to the magnificent Picos de Europa.

Cruises & Sightseeing

For many years, the River Douro
was crucial to the production of
wine as the “Rabelos” ferried
the harvest of grapes, over
dangerous rapids, to the wine
lodges in Porto. Now, of course,
things have changed. The river
has been tamed by a series of
dams and the harvest is transported by roads, leaving the
beautiful and now peaceful river
to be enjoyed by a lucky few.

Remédios, which stands at the

confirmation of the package, 25% of the total cost of the package is

Payments
A private car or van with an English speaking driver is the ideal
way to explore Portugal or Spain. This service takes the work
out of touring. You will be driven by a courteous professional
who knows and loves the country. They can assist you with all
of the elements of your journey including planning your day,
moving your bags and choosing the right place to eat. What
luxury to travel in a late model Mercedes or custom van! Our

sedans, van and motorcoaches. We are happy to provide
quotes on transfers, sightseeing, shore excursions or multi-day

Trains & Ferries
Trains and ferries have become a great alternative to renting a
car. Now, in both Spain and Portugal, trains are a fast, reliable
and an inexpensive way to get to the major cities you want to
visit. Train passes are available that allow a great deal of
flexibility. Keep in mind that while trains are an excellent way
to move great distances, small villages and points of inerest
“off the beaten track” may not have train service. We’ll help
you plan. The AVE is the high speed service available in Spain
between Madrid, Cordoba and Seville. Service is coming on
the Madrid - Barcelona route.
When traveling between the islands or from the mainland to
the Balearics, ferries make an interesting alternative. Ferries
are available in the Canary, Balearic and Azore Islands so that
you can extend your visit to more than one island.
Villas & Apartments
A more leisurely way to explore the country is to use a villa
or an apartment as a base. Pinto Basto has a wide range of
villas and apartments throughout both countries, most of
which have private pools, maid service and all of the comforts
of home.
We offer a wide range of accommodations all over the
peninsula. Homes and apartments can provide the perfect
place for family and friends to explore the far corners of the
country or just relax by the pool.
Most homes and villas have minimum stay requiremets and
set arrival dates. Contact us before making your air reservations call us for our villa brochure!

Card, American Express and Discover. All credit card transactions
require an authorization form signed by the client. Checks received
