What Vigo may lack in Mediterranean warmth it makes up for in Atlantic charm. The Casco Vello (old town) has some glorious fish restaurants along with pintxos and tapas galore. This bit of the Atlantic produces some of the finest seafood in Spain.

It’s a protected area of the coastline around Mutriku, Deba, and Zumaia. There are 13km of cliffs made up of flysch (shale bed) deposits which have created layered and bizarre rock formations. We felt as though we were on the set of Jurassic Park. These staggering cliffs show how the Earth changed over millions of years and fossils are plentiful for the kids to admire. A boat tour is a great way to see it and costs €20 adult, €10 under-12s.

Zaragoza is the fifth largest city in Spain and is well worth visiting while you’re in the region.

San Sebastian is a good place to start (though it’s a bit pricey)

Santander is also nice – lovely sandy beach with occasional rocky pool to hunt crabs

and there are loads of beautiful coves and villages all around. Somo right next to Santader and Castro Urdiales are a couple you could start off with, but there are plenty more
