Husa Universal, Santiago de Compostela

Skiing/Snowboarding from Santiago.

Advantages: different unspoiled powder relaxed
Disadvantages: mid-priced

About 2 hours east of Santiago are the ski resorts of La Parva, El Colorado and Valle Nevado. All 3 resorts are connected (you can ski between them if you have the right pass) and there are plenty of runs and some world-class off-piste. You can make the trip up and down from Santiago in a day but its worth taking two (at least) if you can ski or snowboard. As well as the resorts, there is a small town called Farrellones located next to the resort of El Colorado. You can walk from Farrellones to the lowest lift at el colorado, from where the lift attendants will let you on if you promise to buy a lift pass when you get off - at the resort proper. Be warned though - it's a button lift. You can hire ski and snowboard equipment at any of the resorts, but neither equipment hire nor lift passes come cheap. Ski-ing is very much for the elite ...

Review of Santiago

compostela Beach the same.

Advantages: cheap good area and close to beach
Disadvantages: not great entertainment rooms satisfactory

Tenerife. This is a small island but with lots to do and see. With the main attraction being mount tedie. This is something that is well worth going to see and spending a day doing. It cost us about £15 per adult to go to the peek of tedie, worth taking warmer clothes as it gets rather cold and very wind (ladys don't wear a skirt) as i found out they fly away. Other places to visit which are good for shopping are Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz. There are many other attractions and water parks to visit. compostela Beach resort I found this a nice clean place and are rooms were satisfactory we didnt have no tv or air conditioning which would of come in handy. As we stayed there for two weeks i did find that though we had are beds and towels changed regulary they didnt seem to sweep the floors so by the end of the two weeks ...

Review of Compostela Beach Resort, Tenerife

parque santiago 111

Advantages: very good location, excellent accommodation
Disadvantages: none

you could use but you have to buy your own bats and balls. There was a lot of security around these apartments with patrols day and night which made us feel secure. There are lots of shops beneath the apartments but there was no noise from them. Generally the apartments were quiet and peaceful. The supermarket is just across the road selling fresh baked bread and all your essentials. The surrounding area is full of top class restaurants, Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, Indian, American and many more. We were spoilt for choice as where to eat in the evening. The location of the apartments is very good and you could walk to either Los Cristianos one way or in to Playa de las Americas town the other. I would not hesitate to recommend these apartments to anyone of any age. They are fantastic! ...
