I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Marbella, Spain and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental. I've been a Spain specialist since 2019, which means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years. Here, I'm sharing a collection of my favorite hotels.

As a local, I recommend you the best spots for a weekend getaway to visit some of the most iconic wineries in Ribera del Duero. 🏰Some amazing restaurants and hotels are on the map, as well as some historical buildings in the main village from Ribera del Duero DO, Peñafiel. 💰You can also find some cheaper accommodation options in the area if you look for “casas rurales”. However I’m just recommending the best hotels for a wellness and foodie trip. 🍇Tag me if you visit the area!! I’ll be available to help with any doubt! Enjoy the visit!💛

A two and a half week visit starting in Madrid and followed by a road-trip across northern Spain crossing the Aragon, Navara, Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia regions. This was an adult-only trip that focused on enjoying the best experiences and finest ingredients across the various regions. Hotels on this itinerary are high to very high end. There are some Bonvoy hotels included because loyalty programs work! Seeing the changes between regions was fascinating. The physical landscapes ranged from semi arid with huge sunflower fields dotting the highway, to mountain ranges that were mixed in the distance with clouds, to rolling green hills and banging coast line with surfers, families and friends enjoying the beautiful beaches all along the way. Galicia was the sleeper hit for us. The whole north coast of Spain is quieter than Malaga, Valencia etc. and Galicia is heavy on domestic tourism. Galicia is also a great add on for those visiting Portugal.
