During my recent trip to Santiago de Compostela, in North Western Spain, we decided to pay an overnight visit to a nearby city called Lugo, which is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Santiago de Compostela.
We booked tickets from a local coach firm (called Impresa Freire), which travelled from Santiago de Compostela airport to the centre of Lugo, and has regular trips between the two cities every 2 hours.
We left on one day, stayed at the Lugo hotel which I will be talking about, and returned to Santiago de Compostela the following day.
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY OF LUGO
Lugo is a completely Roman walled city, with the buildings inside the wall having a quaint appearance and it appears that many of these buildings have protected status to try and keep the old looking appeal. Outside the Roman wall, the city has ...
Advantages: Excellent location. Disadvantages: Not many.
**Opinion **
In my opinion the Aparthotel Bahia is one of the best properties on the Island, not just for the accommodation itself but for its location and access to local amenities.
The Aparthotel is a very well presented 4* option situated approximately 1km from San Antonio town with its vast array of nightlife. Making this an ideal location to be in as you are close enough to the nightlife if you want it, yet far enough not to be affected by it if you fancy a relaxing night.
The main clientele at this hotel is made up of young people in the high season so can be rather rowdy at times. However in the low season it can be a little quieter and the pace is more relaxed.
**Hotel**
The hotel is situated on a stretch of land between Es Pouet and San Antonio beaches. Most rooms offer excellent views ...
Advantages: Beautiful landscapes, great acting, compelling story Disadvantages: You have to see the next film to complete the story!
Jean De Florette and Manon Des Sources, both from 1986, are two of the best-loved and most celebrated films in French cinema. They're adapted from the "L'Eau De Collines" books written by Marcel Pagnol, and really it's best to see them as two parts of the same story, rather than as the original film and its sequel. Jean De Florette won a whole heap of Bafta nominations in that year, and strangely it won Best Film overall yet missed out on Best Foreign Film! However it wasn't even nominated for an Oscar, which is a shame.
It tells the tragic story of two greedy farmers in the French countryside. César Soubeyran (played by Yves Montard) and his nephew, Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) want to grow carnations in their soil, and thus make a comfortable living. However, they don't have enough water, so they offer to buy the land of a neighbour ...
