Over 50 Holidays - Spain with a Difference

SPECIAL DEAL AT BEACH HOTEL 
"Hotel Caracol is offering 7 night for the price of 5,  150 euros per person a saving of 60 euros and 3 nightS for the price of 2, 60 euros - a saving of 30 euros, prices are plus IVA 8% and include a large breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the sea."

Our regular guests who are over 50 and love to holiday here in Pontevedra tell us we should try to attract more over 50s because we have everything they need or want in a holiday destination.  So this post and maybe a few more later will be devoted to the over 50 holiday maker.

One rarely mentioned fact ( even a well-kept secret) is that holidays here are so special not just because of the great weather, the green countryside, the blue flag beaches, the great accommodation, the delicious food, the bars and restaurants, it's the fact that the cost of living is much cheaper in comparison to the South of Spain or of the UK. 

Some examples (on 8/08/2012) are:
Taxis Hotel Caracol - Pontevedra 10 km (€12 Euros - £9.40
- bottle of good wine in a supermarket  €3.50 (£2.75);  in a restaurant ( €8.00)

So, aside from the superb accommodation which is affordable but not in a the budget range, the cost of enjoying yourself is comparatively cheap. And then on top you have all the beauty and delights of the Galician environment, people and culture. 

When asked, here is what our more mature guests say about their "over 50" holiday in Spain.

Our " over 50 " guests love the Hotel Caracol

You will receive the full attention from Paco, the owner and ideal host, who cannot do enough for his guests. The hotel is situated in a quiet no-through-road, right on the sea front. 

It's also on the bus route so you can enjoy the excellent Local Bus service to nearby destinations where you can be as active or as relaxed as you like. 
For the Hotel Caracol only, you are offered one free meal each and a bottle of wine for guests booking a stay in September (minimum one week). 

Rates are shown in Euros on the website already well reduced for September And another reason (well, two reasons) you should book with us is we are here - just minutes away if needed, ready and waiting to help make your holiday special with local knowledge, hints and tips. 

The added bonuses are the charms of historic towns, handsome buildings, country retreats or beachside residences to come home to at the end of an eventful day.  However if you enjoy architecture, folk music, art,  there is a surplus of those as well.
