Northern Spain and Galicia offer an exceptional variety of visitor accommodation. Accommodation can be found that will fit all forms of budgets and even the most particular tourists will find something to suit their particular needs. If it is luxury that you are after then the best advice should be to head straight for the exclusive hotels and ?Paradors? but to be honest even the basic family ?casas rurales? are extremely good value for money.
