The most beautiful impressions from Northern Spain.
1
Day 1 – Arrival to Bilbao
Individual arrival in Bilbao, the capital of Basque Country. You should arrive at Bilbao airport no later than 2 pm. We will then set off northern direction and drive to our accommodation. At sunset you will head out to take pictures at a beautiful location.

Day 2 – Basque Country and Cantabria
During our stay in Basque Country we will be discovering stunning photo locations east of Bilbao. Among other things you have the possibility to photograph a former monastery, which became famous due to the TV series Game of Thrones, in the most beautiful light. This photo subject at spectacular location is very inspiring.
Up to 100 million years old Flysch formations are also unique photo motives. These special rock formations of limestone and coarse sandstone are extraordinary stunning. The special lines and layers are exciting for every photographer.
In the afternoon we drive on to Cantabria, where we will stay overnight near one of the most magnificent stretches of coast in northern Spain. The beach, not far from our hotel, has unique cliffs, flysch formations, rock needles and a rock gate in the middle of the sea. This place offers incredibly variety of epic photo motives, there would be enough to photograph for a whole week. No wonder this place is one of our favourites.

Day 3 to 5 – Costa Verde
The journey continues to Asturias. This region is especially known for the Green Coast, the Costa Verde. It captivates by a wild coastal landscape and an impressive mountain range in the hinterland. We will stay in the area for 3 nights. You have plenty of time to discover the photographic highlights.
The relatively large difference of the sea level of 4.5 meters between low tide and high tide makes this place unique. We will photograph impressive rocks and cliffs falling steeply into the sea or catch particularly beautiful rock formations on the beach. The Costa Verde offers countless photo motives, which makes the heart of every landscape photographer beat faster. Depending on the state of the tides, these change again and again.
During your stay you will also get an insight into the optimal planning of a landscape photograph, in which above all a precise tidal planning plays a big role.

Day 6 – Galicia
In the morning you’ll head out for a last photo session at the Costa Verde.
Later you will continue your journey to Galicia.
In the evening we will visit a photogenic lighthouse on a cliff. Here you have the possibility to photograph this special lighthouse in the beautiful light of the sunset. If the sky is clear, you will also be able to take fantastic pictures of the Milky Way. This location is especially suitable for this purpose.

Day 8 – End of the tour
Today you have once more the opportunity to photograph a beautiful sunrise in the region (optional).
After breakfast and checking out of the hotel, we will drive back to the airport to catch the flight back home.
