From the avant-garde architecture of Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum to the sun-kissed beaches of San Sebastian, this trip promises a feast for the senses. Join us as we venture to these delightful cities in the unique and historic Basque country in northern Spain. We’re off for an exclusive VIP experience at Bilbao’s Club Athletic. Travel with us in first class comfort to this beautiful part of Europe, which also takes in the culinary delights and sights of San Sebastian, one of Spain’s most beautiful seaside resorts.

Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure for you or a loved one, this trip promises memories that will last a lifetime.

Schedule

  • Meet your Different League curator at St Pancras International station in London.  
  • Travel in style with Eurostar Standard Premier and then from Paris in 1st class comfort by TGV to Hendaye on the French/Spanish border.  
  • From there we will whisk you off to San Sebastian, where we will enjoy welcome drinks at the rooftop bar and local cuisine at our exclusive hotel overlooking San Sebastian’s beautiful Concha Bay. We selected the hotel not only for its great views and food, but also because its pioneering sustainability initiatives align closely with Different League’s values and ethos.
  • We will travel to Bilbao for a VIP experience at the football cathedral of San Mames, where we will watch this fantastic fan owned Club take on a La Liga opponent.  Our pre and post match VIP experience includes fantastic pintxos – the northern Spanish equivalent of tapas - food prepared by Michelin starred chefs accompanied by locally produced wines from the region, Spanish beers or whatever you prefer to drink.  
  • We will stay overnight at our specially selected Different League hotel near San Mames stadium.  
  • After breakfast, you’ll have a morning’s relaxation and opportunities to visit the sights of Bilbao, including the world-famous Guggenheim art gallery.  We return to San Sebastian where we meet up for our final dinner and culinary experience (which includes local wine or alternatives)    
  • Return to Paris in luxury with first class seats on the French railway flagship high speed train, the TGV, and from Paris back to London on Eurostar Standard Premier.

Topflight football fixture dates and times are often not finalised until very near the time of the fixture.  We just have to live with this frustrating fact of life and we do our best to plan around it as far as we can on your behalf.  But, like life, it is not always straightforward.  So, we hope you will bear with us as we do our best to deal with this uncertainty without you (or us) going crazy!!  Here are some scenarios and what we try to do about them: 

If on the day you book with us a fixture date and time has already been published by the relevant national league, we will usually ask you to pay the full price of your trip at the time of booking.  If the dates are subsequently changed by a Club, (which can sometimes happen), we will always try to offer you either a space on the trip for the revised time/date, an alternative date/fixture to that destination, or your money back. 

If you are booking in advance of a fixture date being published by the relevant national league, we usually ask you to pay us a deposit of £500 which is to secure your place on the trip once the dates/times are finalised.  If we have reserved a place for you, the balance is due as soon as (within 48 hours) we confirm the dates of the trip with you.  You can of course decide not to join that trip, in which case we will return your deposit to you minus an administration fee of £50.  We ask you to pay the balance of the cost of your trip, or to contact us within 48 hours of us having contacted you with the firm dates for your trip.  If we don’t hear back from you within 48 hours, we will offer the place to the next person on our list of clients who have told us that they are interested in that trip.      

For all other eventualities, please see the terms and conditions on the Different League website.         

We appreciate your bearing with us with this unavoidable uncertainty.  One thing we can guarantee is that your trip will be fantastic!
