Tips for choosing the rural house
One of the things that you should consider from the beginning is if you want inland or coast, since in Galicia these two possibilities fit. There are rural houses near the coast, to be able to enjoy the incredible beaches, but others that are in inland places such as Ourense and that also offer incredible landscapes. Once this step has been decided, we have to find the ideal rural house. The possibilities in this case are endless, since some are designed for adventure tourism, others seek total relaxation, there are those that are aimed at couples and others at family tourism. It is a good idea to consider the type of tourism we are looking for to find a house that suits what we want.
One thing to keep in mind is that some houses are located near large centers or cities but others are quite remote. If we want to visit other things or have a city nearby, we must also limit the selected rural houses. In Galicia there is no problem, since on many occasions we are a few kilometers from the city in rural and very quiet places.
When book it is always better to do it in advance, especially in places that are very popular, such as those near cities like Santiago de Compostela. In summer there is much more tourism, but you must always bear in mind that the occupation increases on weekends and on long weekends.
