Having read the other reviews we were dubious but things are now clearly different from these reviews. The hosts were fantastic without being a pain in the bum. Attentive yet not smothering, just what we want really. The town and area is mostly occupied by locals with the majority of tourists being German. Whilst the German tourists ensure high standards of customer service they also ensure that a Brit with normal British manners will be well looked after by the locals. Badia Real is not your average package holiday destination type of place but with their British background and close relations to the local people they are the ideal people of this fantastic and totally unspoiled area of Northern Spain. Many Thanks to them.
