Our trip to Spain was great; all hotels and the rental car worked out fine. The best hotels were the Passeo de Arte in Madrid (excellent value) and the Casa del Marques (Santillana de Mar). Breakfasts were excellent and most hotels had free wi-fi internet access. Rental car pickup, dropoff and performance were good. Roads were better than I had expected. It was easy to get a local train from San Sebastian to Hendaye (all connections walking distance with our light luggage) and then catch the Paris train.
Northern Spain is very beautiful; the mountains, Bay of Biscay, coastal towns. San Sebastian is very nice.
Thanks for your help in arranging this trip.
