Undiscovered Spain

June 26th, 2011 posted by admin

So where to next you ask? Well if you are into wildlife, beautiful scenery, lovely beaches and experiencing a slice of untouched local culture then Spain is the place for you; Northern Spain to be precise. Galicia is a treasure trove of beauty which is largely undiscovered by mass tourism. It is a different world from the tourist ridden southern coast which has become overrun with sun seekers. The north has some of the best beaches in Europe, and there are plenty of things do experience whilst you stay. I really had no idea that Spain had such a vast array of mountain valleys with beautiful gorges, damns, and canyons. I always imagined it as the beach holiday hotspot of the Costa del Sol. There are secluded waterfalls set into the mountainside, hidden beaches by the vast and picturesque rivers, and great views around every corner. If you have had enough of the same old corporate hotels then there are a whole host of beautiful little villas in every village. If you are looking for something even more interesting and relaxing to stay in then you could look at Mino Valley Retreats. Here you can stay an either a traditional Mongolian Yurt or a Tipi. I only managed to find out about this area as I saw vinyl stickers advertising it on a car in front of me on my way to the airport last month. How glad I am now that I wrote the name down and looked into it.

So before you dismiss Spain as your next port of call, look into what you might be missing out on in Galicia. Flights go into Santiago de Compostelo, Vigo, and A Coruna, and from here, a car hire is the best way to get out and explore.
