Spain

Hey could anyone recommend a good spot to learn to surf in spain (i'm thinking northern spain is best).

We (four guys) would like to do a week-long beginners' course somewhere around that coast.

Any tips on companies/locations?

Many thanks.

Next April my partner and I are travelling by hire car from Paris through Bordeaux to San Sebastian. From there we don't have specific plans and would like to hear from people who could recommend where we should go and indeed where to stop and stay. We would like to follow the coast from there around the top of Spain then down into Portugal. We have 10 days to get to the Algarve. It won't allow for more than one night in each place. We would like to stay in B&Bs or small interesting hotels. I'm…

My husband, 24 yr old niece and 1 year old daughter will be traveling to Spain from the US in September for two weeks. We've never been and frankly don't know a whole lot about the country. We also don't speak Spanish. I've been doing a lot of internet research and based on the types of travelers we are (country vs. big city) I'm think we're going to visit the south of spain. I'm thinking we might rent a house in either Ronda or Granada and do some biking and site seeing of the small…

Anyone stay at the Makuto Hostel in Granada? Pros? Cons? Would you recommed it for a female traveling alone (in terms of safe location.)

Thanks.

Anyone have ideas of what to do in Santander? It's lovely but I'm not staying in the usual hostel style situation where you have an automatic itinery and set of friends...so any ideas of what to do? anyone there now and experiencing the dull weather?

I love arty stuff or dance classes if there are any places around or upcoming festivals with that kind thing? Or are there any places to go and meet students(maybe international students) who might like to practice their english and help me with…

Hi

Could anyone recommend a budget hostal- under €30 somewhere not too far from the bus station (Méndez Álvaro) please? I'm arriving by bus from the South late at night and the following morning need to be at the airport. I know my way around Madrid enought but this time I would like to avoid having to do lots of metro stops/ line transfers as it always takes longer than I expect. I'm looking through Madridman.com links and swapping between looking at the metro map right now.

Thanks!

I'm arriving in Madrid on July 4th and have hired a car to go north to Pamploma. Where is a good place to advertise that I am "taking passengers"?
I thought I might go to a few hostals in Madrid and ask around there, but I'd rather not drive around in the city if I can help it.

IF anyone here is interested:

My plan is to make my way slowly to Pamploma by the 6th ... so to spend two nights in small towns along the way. I will probably not stay in Pamploma because of the lack of accomodation, but…

Hi again,

As a scottish girl with not much spanish i;m surmising that irish pubs are the key. I have been to madrid and barcelona before and know of irish pubs however fancy going to sevillle, as a general enquiry does anyone think seville is a likely spot for such a pub? I can clearly see that there are a few regulars on this sight with knowledge coming out their…
