Hey, we've been there and it's definitely a nice place. I accompanied my sister when she went to Spain last month to finalize the sales of the property they had purchased and after that we toured around. With 2 more days to spare, we went to Malaga and Granada. It was indeed a great experience.
ReplyDeleteGiven a chance, I would love to visit Spain, I heard they've got a lot beautiful places that a tourist could ever ask for. Also I want to see how does a typical Spaniard home looks like, I always imagine it as something classy and elite, I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteNot a well publicized place to go on a vacation but I think that it will compete with the best of them. Food and accommodation is top notch. The government should make it a point to broadcast this place to be more visible thus increasing the number of visitors that will help the establishments that surrounds it.
ReplyDeleteAs a reward for all my hard work, my boss offered me an all expense paid (much needed) vacation. I'm considering a lot of places to go to but this sounds pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteLooks very inviting. I wish I can go on a vacation anytime soon. If not, I'll probably end up jumping into our camper van and go on a road trip, or maybe camping.
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony, your company gave you an all-expense paid trip? Wow, that's certainly a great employee benefits. It is really inspiring to work if you have that kind of perks.
