Howdy. What a great site! I haven't had time to browse at length so pls accept apologies for any redundant questions. I'll try to shed my newbie-ness quickly...

I checked availability at HOSTAL LOPEZ but they're booked for these days. Maybe I haven't searched this site enough yet, but I didn't see any other links to specific hostals - just a few recommended names.

SUGGESTIONS? Pls include a link (or phone # as my friend in Salamanca can make calls for me)

Unnecessary details:
Planning first big trip since honeymoon 6 years ago - my wife has never been outside of North America. We're visiting friends who live in Salamanca and Granada so our itinerary is in sections of 2-3 days for 10 days covering Madrid, Salamanca, Sevilla, y Granada - Dec. 20 - 31.
