[Leica] Spain Accomodations

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hi Tina,

1) ask at the local police station/town hall
2) ask a local farmer
3) ask the local priest
4) ask at the local store or newspaper kiosk

One of these has worked every time when I used to go 
hiking in various countries.

Cheers
Douglas
