Day 15 of your road trip in Spain is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Bilbao before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
Maximize your last day in Spain and go on a shopping spree in Bilbao’s shopping center. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Spain.
Before you conclude your road trip in Spain, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Bilbao.
You’ll then say farewell to Bilbao. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Spain!
