Advantages: different unspoiled powder relaxed Disadvantages: mid-priced
About 2 hours east of Santiago are the ski resorts of La Parva, El Colorado and Valle Nevado. All 3 resorts are connected (you can ski between them if you have the right pass) and there are plenty of runs and some world-class off-piste. You can make the trip up and down from Santiago in a day but its worth taking two (at least) if you can ski or snowboard. As well as the resorts, there is a small town called Farrellones located next to the resort of El Colorado. You can walk from Farrellones to the lowest lift at el colorado, from where the lift attendants will let you on if you promise to buy a lift pass when you get off - at the resort proper. Be warned though - it's a button lift.
You can hire ski and snowboard equipment at any of the resorts, but neither equipment hire nor lift passes come cheap. Ski-ing is very much for the elite ...

For a long time now, I have been receiving promotional e mails from Ryan Air offering cheap air travel to various destinations, and so, on a whim, I decided to book a return trip to SantiagoDe Compostela in Spain from London Stansted. Both myself and my wife decided to make it an adventure, so we agreed to make the costs for air travel as cheap as possible, involving taking minimal luggage, and not to book any accommodation until we got to our destination. This is something that we have never done, but it did make it exciting.
*
We booked the flights to cover a week end after the summer holiday season and arranged a cheap hire car to be picked up at SantiagoDe Compostela airport.

On arriving at Santiagode Compostela, even though it was out of the peak holiday ...
Advantages: very good location, excellent accommodation Disadvantages: none
you could use but you have to buy your own bats and balls.
There was a lot of security around these apartments with patrols day and night which made us feel secure.
There are lots of shops beneath the apartments but there was no noise from them. Generally the apartments were quiet and peaceful.
The supermarket is just across the road selling fresh baked bread and all your essentials.
The surrounding area is full of top class restaurants, Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, Indian, American and many more. We were spoilt for choice as where to eat in the evening.
The location of the apartments is very good and you could walk to either Los Cristianos one way or in to Playa de las Americas town the other.
I would not hesitate to recommend these apartments to anyone of any age. They are fantastic! ...
