...My appreciation of the internet reached an all-time high, when we checked into the Tryp Hotel Oviedo last summer.
It had been discovered, researched and booked all online, and nothing disappointed.

My experience really started with the decision to use a no-frills airline to do a cheapie European holiday last summer.
The problem was that the cheap flights from Belfast were alll booked up and we could have got a package holiday for the flight costs to Prague, Barcelona and the like.
Suddenly, I came on Stelios's new Easyjet route to Asturias from Stansted. I had to get the maps out to find out where it was, and check online to see what the area could offer - it all looked good.

If you are going to Madrid don't assume that you will be able to travel freely without hitting problems and closures...
