The thinking behind this plan
The only noise is your own footsteps.
A countryside getaway isn't decided by the house alone. The road in matters, as do the options for eating out, access to walks and whether you want to drive every day. Combine a village with its surroundings rather than promising yourself a whole region in a weekend.
Coast and green hills
Cudillero and Llanes let you alternate fishing towns with the surrounding countryside. Check how far each place to stay is from shops and restaurants.
The mountains around Ronda
A rural base can change the trip. Decide whether you'd rather walk out to dinner or stay away from the centre.
Ask before you arrive
Confirm road access, heating or ventilation depending on the season, parking and whether pets are allowed if you're bringing one.
