Hostales in Various Cities - 03/20/04 08:52 AM
First let me start off with "Thanks Madridman for such a wonderful site" It has been very helpful in planning my upcoming trip to Spain, but at the same time overwhelming. I choose one place, but then see another...then I am stuck with deciding which to choose.
I have been to Spain on many occasions, my mothers family all live in Zaragoza. There is a wedding this October that my husband and I will be attending. We have decided to take one week out of our 3 week stay and do some sight seeing.
We want to stay in the Madrid area for 3 days and visit Madrid, Toledo & Segovia, then to the Sevilla area for 3 more days and visit Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada. We are planning on purchasing a rail pass so that we may base ourselves in the Madrid and Sevilla and do daily excursions to the other cities. I have done some research on Train ticket prices vs rail passes and they come out to about the same. My question is "are my plans reasonable Should I base in those cities or should I stay two nights in Madrid then one night in Toledo and should I stay one night in Cordoba, One night in Sevilla and one night in Granada" Any recommendations for hostels in Cordoba and Granada? What is the difference between Hostel and a Hotel...they all appear to look the same except where the prices are concerned.
