In this video you can ride along on Autovía A8 E70 from Santander (S-10) to Bilbao (AP-8). Following the rugged Atlantic sea coast, the A8 connects the two largest cities of Basque Country in the North of Spain.
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to visit Santander, but I heard good things about it. I spent a few days in Bilbao, which is a beautiful city. It's especially interesting to those who like architecture.
The A8 has a quite curvy alignment between both cities as passes through quite a mountainous area. I like how green everything looks, mainly thanks to a micro-climate that makes this area quite wet from time to time compared to most other areas of Spain. From Bilbao there is the AP-8 toll road which bypasses the city through a series of tunnels. Unfortunately I didn't get to drive it. The A8 stills runs in parallel to the AP8 for a while until it merges with the AP8 East of Bilbao. The AP8 from Bilbao to the border with France is not tolled, I believe just the bypass is.

I remember myself driving on this AUTOVIA by the time I lived in Spain! Very rugged terrain but the road is very scenic !

Spectacular and rugged terrain, even in rainy conditions impressive. At 3:00 the weaving lane was a little too short? Or Spanish temperament? And the first tunnel only appeared at 10:00 into the drive ....

The lane wasn't necessarily too short. The white car was hugging the middle lane and being a lazy driver. He had no business being there, especially if the alignment narrows down. When I was next to him he didn't feel like slowing down either to give me space, despite him being in the wrong lane in the first place. Unfortunately I found middle lane hugging to be even worse in Spain than in France or Germany.
