Well organised which made the whole trek lot more pleasant. The accommodation was all very good except for one that was average but quite doable. Overall, very pleasant experience, thanks!
The trip went very smoothly and nearly all the hotels were lovely!
We absolutely loved the trip. The accomodation along the way was just delightful (we only had the 2 star/3star option). Only disappointment was a big hotel in Pontevedra.
