Lines: 36 From: Mark BrucksA friend and I are planning now for a trip to Spain in late July or early August, and need a lot of info. If you think you can be helpful, please inundate me with info. Particulars follow : Length of stay - approx. 2 weeks Transportation - Once there, how does one get around - train, plane, bus, bicycle, ...? Places to stay - We are fairly anti-social when it comes to choosing a place to stay - the fewer the people the better. We would prefer to walk(ride) to places we want to see and stay in out of the way locations, closer to the people if we can ie., no suggestions for the Madrid Hyatt please. Do you know anything about Spanish : Architecture (my undergrad degree) - anything or any place that is particularly unknown that you ran across that would be worth a side trip? Art - We will probably do some museum hopping, and would again prefer quiet out of the way places that you happened on - the friend is particularly interested in folk art, especially pottery - any leads? Culture - Anything interesting related to the various sub- cultures of the Iberian peninsula? Overall, our itinerary is not fixed, but we are not going for the whirlwind tour of Spain - we would prefer to stay longer in places and soak up more of what is there than to spend too much time travelling. If however, you know of someplace, say in Portugal, that you think it would be a crime to miss seeing, then maybe we will detour there for a few days. Please, don't submit more suggestions than we can pack into two weeks (probably max of five places). Thanks in advance. Mark Brucks uucp: (seismo | allegra)!rochester!brux arpa: brux@rochester
