if you could spend 3 nights as opposed to 2 nights in one of the following places what would your choice be? we are trying to tighten up our itinerary for next september(2013)
-burgos
-santander
-lugo
-segovia
-thanks for all the hints and great suggestions so far.

Segovia, hands down...

I agree with Kipper about Segovia, but in all fairness, I have not been to Santander. We spent 2 nights in Segovia last summer and I loved it. Can you spend 2 nights there and one night someplace else?

great towns indeed all good my choices would also be SEgovia, then Burgos, Lugo, and Santander.
cheers

I can't imagine Segovia for 3 nights!However, it does give you the opportunity to visit La Granja,a short 10 mins bus ride from Segovia! I actually prefer to stay in La Granja, so often overlooked, rather than Segovia-a beautiful little town,wonderful palace with fabulous grounds- fountains, gardens and lots of little restaurants.
The best parador I have ever stayed in-take a peek inside!
