Just thinking, not planning, about long staying in Northern Spain.
I have studied, once again, Jim Baerselman's excellent website and quote:
" A huge commercial port, good for crew changes. Two full service marinas; The expensive Getxo marina, a fair way out of town usually has plenty of space. The friendly old 'Real Club Maritimo del Abra' is much cheaper and more central, but is often full. "
What would Bilbao be like for, say, basing the boat there for a year ?
EDIT: Ditto Santander, described by Jim as
"A pleasant city, large port and holiday resort with lots of sandy beaches, good for crew changes. Two marinas, anchorages with plenty of space. Ferries and flights to UK"
