planning a trip next summer for northern spain and we are trying to avoid hotel stays. we are interested in b&b's ,rural lodging and maybe some paradors.would like to travel to San sebastian and maybe over to Galicia .. all suggestions would be appreciated

Most of my Spanish friends are Galicians and one of them is involved developing and promoting tourism. He refered me to a project he is involved in that looks interesting. It is a Hospederia Rural in the area of Viana do Bolo on the western edge of Galicia. I have not been there, but I like the area very much.


Eido das Estrelas

Good Luck

Matt

I love the look of that place , Matt .. And I´ve never been to Galicia so it´s up there on my wish list now . The Galician Market they had here in Madrid recently really got me thinking . The food and wine was excellent . And the Tarta de chocalate ( en Castellano ) was amazing . A Galician deli has opened recently on Calle Goya .. Small but great quality .. It´s only a 10 minute walk so maybe I´ll check if they have that chocolate " cake " .... Hojaldre .. y el chocolate es duro y muy rico .

check www.turgalicia.es for tourist info in Galicia. I go there often my best friends are from Xove in the north. for b&b you can try this people very friendly folks and knowledgable of the area

I just discovered a tourism video on the area of Galicia around the hospederia I mentioned.
