Portonovo Vacation Packages

The room had the hot water shut off. The air conditioning vent was missing. Overall the experience of the room was terrible. The floor was filled with paint leftovers. Staff did not even suggested moving rooms.

There are times when a traveler just must take the time and leave a review. Torre de Tebra is such an extraordinary experience that I need to encourage fellow explorers from the States, and elsewhere to come to Tomino, Galicia. The tower structure is said to have been constructed circa 1483 by Pedro Madruga [That is one of the names that was used by Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon) prior to his launch to the New World]. I highly recommend their suite at the top of the tower. From there, and from the rooftop terrace, one can see the river that separates Spain from Portugal. A watchman from the tower could alert the local inhabitants and provide sufficient time to prepare against invasion. There are many unique features to the property that make traveling a little out of the way well worth it. On the property, there is also a chapel to Santiago de Compostela, and the owners tell me that this was the old Camino route before it was diverted to its present path. Also worth a mention is the great care you will receive from Patricia and Daniella. They are extremely capable, and kind, and will endeavor to make your stay among the best you can find anywhere in Spain. Buen Camino!
