Northern Spain Roadtrip Advice

Discussion

Day 1: Madrid Airport (MAD) → La Rioja (Logroño area)

3 hr 30 min (about 205 miles / 330 km)

Day 2: La Rioja → San Sebastián

1 hr 45 min (about 105 miles / 170 km)

Day 4: San Sebastián → Oviedo

3 hr 15–30 min (about 180 miles / 290 km)

This is a beautiful coastal/mountain drive. Consider a lunch stop in Santander or Comillas.

Day 6: Oviedo → Segovia

3 hr 45–4 hr (about 220 miles / 355 km)

Day 7: Segovia → Madrid Airport (MAD)

1 hr 15 min (about 70 miles / 115 km)

Total driving: about 13½–14 hours

How logical/reasonable is this roadtrip to people who have traveled northern spain? Mostly worried about moving around too much but also want to see these places while I'm there and only have a week. Don't mind driving at all but also don't want it to take up too much time.

Any stop recommendations are very welcome as well!

Thank you!
