Holiday houses & holiday apartments St. James' Way

DuMont Travel Pocketbook – Galicia & Way of St. James (2010), page 22 (translated from German):
„Holiday houses can be booked over the operator atraveo (www.atraveo.de) that has a number of properties on offer in Galicia. The portal has a large selection of photos both of out and inside of the accommodation.“

The author Tobias Büscher gives an impression of the region:
“Not only pilgrims are attracted by the granite city which was declared World Cultual Heritage by the UNESCO. Numerous visitors also seek to discover Galicia which is one of Europe’s most secluded areas where wolves howl in the hinterland, where goose barnacles cling to the harsh jags of the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death) and where ‘wise women’ are asked for advise as often and willingly as doctors in university hospitals.”

“The Way of St. James – for thousands and thousands this is and was a long journey – gave a new feeling of gradualness and contemplation. Indulgence pilgrimage is passé, repentance and silence pilgrimage are on the decrease. Instead hiking on the Camino de Santiago has now mutated into a colourful event.”

From the northern border with France down to the border with Portugal the areas of the Spanish Mediterranean coast string together: Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are just the most famous ones. Why don’t you take a look at the atraveo offers along the Costa Dorada, Costa del Azahar, Costa Calida or Costa Tropical. The chances of finding the perfect holiday house are as good as it is on one of the two famous Spanish island groups, the Canary and Balearic Islands.
Spain offers everything you need for a great vacation at the seaside. Long beaches, kid’s playing at the beach under gloriously blue skies whilst the parents enjoy the time out from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the tranquillity. A dip in the sea for cooling-off, an ice cream at the near-by kiosk or bathing in the sun on a comfy sun lounger.
Also the multi-faceted cultural life in Spain provides for entertainment. This does not only include the many interesting exhibitions and museums, such as the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao or the great museums in Valencia and Barcelona – but also party animals and night owls will get their money’s worth.
Beside the Canary and Balearic Islands atraveo customers favour especially the Costa Blanca and Costa Brava as well as the region of Andalusia in the south and the area around Valencia.
