I bumped into a great web site for finding special lodging treats - Secretplaces.com. The majority of its listings are in Spain and Portugal, but they have Italy, France, Morocco and some of the areas islands as well. The site is clean, crisp, pleasing to the eye, and best of all very well designed for searching. I love their listings. And that is where I found our week in Galicia!

Secretplaces.com is as elegant in its functionality as it is in its looks. The Secretplaces language refers to the site's stated mission to show travelers often overlooked eateries, sights and particurlarly hotels. Secretplaces uses a map highlighting cities in various regions. Part of the site's charm is its unusual approach to helping visitors refine their selections. In the places to stay section for Castlla-Leons region of Spain, for instance, users can choose from Fine Address, Manor House ad countryside, among others. They will endear themselves to those with a taste for subtlelty and randomnsess

A very sexy site. It enables viewers to see inferior and exterior shots of their chosen hotels with a description, price and write up. The graphics are fantastic and illustrate just how good a website can be.
