I am going to Spain for the first time (alone) June11- July 9 and I need any info- I am a young, outgoing teacher from Texas and meet people very easily- I was hoping someone could let me know which hostals in Madrid - would be best suited for me to meet other young travelers? I want to book my first two nights soon and woould like to stay somewhere at first were I have my own room

Also any info on basically anything you know about traveling solo as a young woman-
I plan to start in Madrid head south to Costa Brava, Sevilla, Granada, head up the coast to Valemcia on to Barcelona, Zaragozq and then to Basque area and back to Madrid- I speak pretty good conversational Spanish(im from sout texas)

Sorry if this email is choppy and long- im grading journals right now
Thanks for any help
