Two coaches:102 Spaniards and 2 Brits

We got a leaflet through the door. For 49.90€ we could get a coach to Galicia, stay overnight in a hotel - full board, visit the Island of Toxa, go on a boat trip on the Ría out of O Grové and get a guided tour of Santiago de Compostela. The pick up point was about 100 metres from our door. 

The catch? There was a presentation of the company's products. We expected them to be selling holidays but, instead, it was wildly overpriced cooker rings, irons, ironing boards, mattresses and vibrating exercise machines. We resisted.

It was excellent. I reckon we did about 1,100kms, the sun shone, the food was fine, the hotel was good, the company was lively, the trips included extras like food and drink and on the two 52 seater coaches just two places were taken by foreigners - us

Hi Chris, Tessa again, I have read back to about mid May, but have to stop now as jet lag is making my eyes cross. The coach trip sounds great, there was a story line in 'Benidorm' about a similar thing but the resultant trip was less fun(though perhaps more funny) than yours.
