<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Consider the LOS REYES CATÓLICOS, the
Parador in Santiago. It's about $150/night American, but it's like
staying inside a piece of Spanish history. The Spanish government took
over failing? historical sites throughout Spain, and turned them into impressive
hotels. They are incredibly affordable compared to US prices (especially
if you ever paid $375 dollars for a small room in NYC). There are also
some along the Camino Francais in Santo Domingo de Calzada, León, and Villa
Franca del Bierzo. (León was also pretty spectacular!) After all
those refugios you've stayed in, the Parador in Santiago will seem like a piece
of heaven, and your wife will love you for it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I will be leaving Monday for my camino and I plan to stay in
refugios along<BR>the way. However, when my wife comes at the end of the trip
and we stay in<BR>Santiago we want to be in a good hotel which is not too
expensive. I would<BR>welcome additional suggestions form anyone about what
specific hotels they<BR>would recomend.</BODY></HTML>
