🇪🇸 Spain

Rent a Starlink Mini in Bilbao

The Basque Country is green, mountainous, and famously rugged. The signal matches the terrain — patchy at best.

From €29/day · 100-200 Mbps · No Starlink account needed

Bilbao is the hub for exploring northern Spain: the Basque mountains, the Cantabrian coast, the Picos de Europa, and the western section of the Camino de Santiago. Green, wet, mountainous, and beautiful — but the deep valleys and dense forests mean cell coverage is surprisingly poor for Western Europe.

Where your phone stops working near Bilbao

Urkiola Natural Park (forested Basque peaks), Cantabrian coast between towns, Picos de Europa (3 hours east — extensive dead zones in the gorges), Camino de Santiago route through Cantabria (rural stretches with no signal).

Road trips from Bilbao

Bilbao → Picos de Europa

3 hours east. Spain's most dramatic mountain range — Naranjo de Bulnes, Cares Gorge, and valleys with zero connectivity.

Bilbao → Basque coast (Bermeo, Mundaka, Getaria)

1 hour. Rugged coastal villages — some with weak signal between cliffs.

Bilbao → Camino de Santiago (western route)

The coastal Camino runs through remote stretches of Cantabria and Asturias with limited coverage.

Local tip

Northern Spain is dramatically underrated. The Picos de Europa rival any Alps scenery but with a fraction of the tourists — and a fraction of the cell coverage. The Basque coast between San Sebastián and Bilbao is world-class surfing with intermittent signal.

I'm a travel photographer based in Valencia. I need to upload 20GB shoots from locations with zero signal. SkyRelay changed my workflow completely — I uploaded a full wedding shoot from a cliff near Jávea.
