After the palacete we headed over to Ribadesella and the Gran Hotel De Sella.
If you get a room in the old part then this hotel is good but the modern concrete block on the side is a bit of a shame.
Still, a great location in the bay with some great seafood restaurants.

After Sanxenxo we went to Figueras del Mar across the River Eo from Ribadeo. It’s just in side Asturias.
On the way we went to the Semaforo de Bares. The hotel there is up high on a peninsula overlooking the sea. It’s quite breathtaking a view.
It was a pity we couldn’t fit in a nights stay there are the hotel looked cool (http://www.semaforobares.com/). T
We stayed at the Palacete de Peñalba which I can heartily recommend (http://www.hotelpalacetepenalba.com/).
The coast up there is excellent.
On day three we went to the beach.
On day 4 we went to Santigao de Compostella.
The historic old town is excellent but it is a little overrun with pilgrims…
Given we didn’t finish partying until nearly 6am we took the first day nice and gently and stayed in Campo de Criptana.
A relaxed breakfast at the hotel around noon and then we met up with those who had stayed around for dinner in the square.
Day 2 and we drove all the way to the north west coast of Spain to Sanxenxo. I took us about 9 hours including one lunch stop. So about 8 hours driving.
We stayed in the Gran Hotel de Sanxenxo which had this view.
