Hi ,I only wish to stress the point that Spain is a fantastic
destination....My advise is:do not visit only those place in the beaten
track that everybody seems to go to, ...., there are so many charming
fantastic towns with such a wealth of art, culture, and tradition.... Spain
is much more than Madrid, and Barcelona, and Andalucia and Santiago, and
the Guggenheim,....I am thankful to John and Susie who encouraged us to
visit the Pyrenees, we only touched the tip of the ice berg we are looking
forward to return,...... Navarra, Castilla y Leon, Aragon, so many charming
places,..... and the spas, called in Spain Balnearios as Covadonga
explained to me, we really enjoyed the one we wentin Cataluna, and found out
to our delight that the water of the hotel pool was thermal, hot water,
those water jets, !!!!! it was a joy, and all the massages etc were the
best and the cost low, low...
Food in Spain was so delicious, being Spring, the strawberries,
asparragus,artichokes where present in most menus joining those delicious
Spanish fishes, covered by golden garlic, and sea food, gambas,
quid,octupus, etc,red meats, tiny ,tiny ,lamb chops poultry games,
....delicious...not to speak of rice paellas, and some kind of paella done
with thin pasta and wild mushrooms in La Seu d'Urgell,...we were lucky to
enjoy the food of several young semi well known chefs, making their
reputation....
As in previous trips we found the paradores a tremendous buy, they are
reaso ble priced and very often we were able to take advantage of their
offers : the luxury room, with outstanding breakfasts and parking amounted
to somo 70 dollars.
So Buena suerte do not follow the beaten track and you will be delighted by Spanish hospitality.Graziella Miami Beach. I take my hat to Spain, .... |
