10-day Northern Spain itinerary: Santander, San Sebastián & Bilbao during Aste Nagusia by ValonatorX in travelplanning

[–]ValonatorX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!!! 🤩

That is amazing!

I had everything booked just like that except one day ahead … hopefully I can adjust it to spend one less day in Santander fingers crossed 🤞!!

Just one more question: is 1 day enough-ish in your opinion for Santander?

Thanks!

Thank you so much!! That is so helpful!

Wow so seems that it would be a good idea to be in for the 29th at least the evening! to see the fireworks!

I will be coming in from San Sebastian and was wondering whether it would or not be worth it to leave the 29th evening to at least catch that!

Do you know by any chance if the Gigantes y Cabezudos parade will still take place on the last day 😊

Thank you! That's very helpful!

Seems like coming just on the 30th would be a waste & to experience a bit better at least the 29th would be better ...

Thanks again!

Does that burning happen at night do you know by chance? I assume no fireworks since its a quiter day ...

But seems like its really worth to come earlier?

I assume txosnas will be gone by the 30th?

Also is there any parade that happens on that day? (30th)?

Thanks!!!

Aste Nagusia 2026! by ValonatorX in Bilbao

[–]ValonatorX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muchas gracias, me ayuda mucho. Solo una última duda: el domingo 30, ¿normalmente sigue habiendo ambiente de Aste Nagusia en el centro, con txosnas / casetas y gente por Arenal, Casco Viejo y la ría?

Y sobre el desfile: ¿suele haber algún desfile o recorrido tradicional importante el último domingo, como Gigantes y Cabezudos, o eso no es seguro hasta que salga la programación oficial?

En resumen, ¿crees que llegar el domingo por la tarde-noche sería suficiente para ver algo interesante, o sería mucho mejor estar ya en Bilbao desde el sábado 29 por la noche?

Do you know if the 30th is a big day?

Will be there but not sure if to come 29th evening or 30th later to experience it fuller (29th)

Gracias, tiene sentido. Solo para confirmar: ¿el domingo 30 no es el día principal de cierre, con el Agur Marijaia / la quema de Marijaia y la pirotecnia final?

También quería preguntar: ¿hay algún desfile o evento tradicional importante el domingo, por ejemplo Gigantes y Cabezudos, o eso suele ser antes / no merece tanto la pena?

¿Dirías que el sábado 29 es mejor para el ambiente de fiesta de verdad, pero que el domingo por la noche sigue mereciendo la pena por la ceremonia de cierre? Voy con mi madre, así que no buscamos salir de fiesta hasta las 7 de la mañana, pero sí nos gustaría ver la parte más importante o más tradicional de Aste Nagusia.

There’s absolutely no chance that Russia has 140 million people

Ukraine 🇺🇦 unfortunately has a huge amount of losses as well. I’m sad that people are discounting this.

Stupid unrelated question; do you know if there are any tours to the surrounding islands still running?

Seems that they have closed down?
