Whether you're heading for the Sierras or the costas, historic towns or cosmopolitan cities, this guide has a huge variety of places to choose from. There are simple Casas de Aldea (small traditional houses in remote rural settings), restored monasteries and palaces and modernist buildings with all the contemporary designer trimmings. Make the most of courses and activities organised by inspiring owners: wine tasting, walking, mushroom picking, pottery, yoga. Stride out on walking holidays in the National Parks, recharge your batteries by the pool and make the most of some terrific regional and international cooking.
Half of the properties chosen have rooms for two at under €70 per night, every property has been inspected and there are two photographs per entry. Symbols, maps, clear directions and quick reference indices help guide readers to the best choice for them, and well-researched, fresh and lively write-ups paint an accurate picture.
