For many people, visiting Spain means staying in the city center, using their hotel as a base for exploring the culture and history of the region. There are others, however, who prefer an even more intimate experience. More and more people are discovering a new way of experiencing Spain, far from the rush of the city:
Casas Rurales and
Masies. The exact translation of these two concepts is difficult to capture, although in many respects they are best viewed as country inns, or rural bed and breakfasts. Not that they have to be in the middle of nowhere, mind you, so don’t get stuck on the idea of a farmhouse 3 hours from the nearest city. In fact, many of the best casas rurales are located in or near areas such as wine regions, national parks, quiet beaches, and other cultural treasures. A
casa rural does not necessarily mean a simple stone farmhouse, either. In many cases, they offer services that are hard to find in most hotels, such as Jacuzzis, pools, and of course, the personal touch of the owners, who are happy to share their culture. The
casas rurales of Spain are a great way of connecting with the Spanish culture and heritage, and for those people who take the opportunity it always provides some of the highlights of their visit.
