La Rochelle is a great DIY mouch-a-bout sort of place although you have to have the shuttle from the docking area.

As for the other two ....

Bilbao is also a fair distance from the Port and has, imo, very little to offer bar their famous Museum, I would book a trip to beautiful San Sebastian.

El Ferrol is a decent starting point for a trip to Santiago de Compostela.
Keep smiling, it's good for your well being

Thanks for the advice Moby :) La Rochelle is the one we're really looking forward to seeing, sounds lovely from what you've said and from what I've read.

Moby, have booked trip to San Sebastian today. Got my 8.5% off too which I didn't expect so that's paid for another round ;) Thanks so much for the nod :D
