On the edge of a small Gallician village, steeped in history, a short walk to the local beach, a short drive to the hypermarket and surrounded by wonderful scenery, this was one of the best holiday homes that we have stayed in.

A 30 minute scenic drive gets you to spectacular Atlantic white sand deserted beaches with great surf if you want it. The fishing villages on the way are full of cafes' and restaurant's that easily distract you, to say nothing of the old historic buildings.

The home itself, is in a spectacular hill side location and looks fantastic. It is we'll kitted out, the air conditioning works well when it is needed and the fully filtered pool is very handy and private.

The peace and tranquillity is wonderful, nature is on your door step, with civilisation at a handy arms length away.

Galicia is unlike the rest of Spain, it is green, the local seafood is wonderful and the temperature's are not so extreme, but still high 20s and low 30s.

We were lucky enough to meet Didier during our visit, his contacts and local knowledge were most useful.
