Madrid region (Toledo, Madrid, Segovia, Avila) and also to Barcelona, and to southern Spain (Seville and Cordoba and Granada).

Spain is wonderful and the people are super.

I alway stay in hotels and generally, if I have a car, I choose one kinda on the outskirts where I can park for free.

Bear in mind that B&B places may not have parking, or it may be difficult to navigate to. Of course, if you are doing the train, no problem!

I know a lot of folks use the Airbnb and love it. I just prefer the privacy and convenience (and standards) of a hotel. And i'm not extravagant...believe me!!

I know you will have a great trip. Have you decided what part of Spain you want to visit?
