My husband and I (and our gorgeous baby girl) are thinking of moving to Galicia, Spain (area near Palas de Rei - on the Pilgrim trail) and we are trying to find out as much information as possible from people who have done it - up'd everything and started a new chapter in a new country.

If I may, I would like to tell you of our plans. We have loved the idea of
moving to Spain (from England/London) for a long time - originally the Costa Brava but it has become out of our price range. We want to experience the authentic Spanish way of life! We visited Galicia
last year and loved it. The area of Palas de Rei (apprx 64k from Santiago) is beautiful and we found a great plot of land with a ruined farmhouse. We really want to go for it and are in talks with the agent and owner - we feel it is overpriced but hopefully we can get the price down. We would like to turn the land into a campsite (log cabins, tent areas etc) and offer the pilgrims a place to stay (and anyone else). We love our idea but are thinking - Can we do it? It would be interesting to hear your views!

This posting has become rather large so I will sign off now.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read our post and it would be great to hear from you.

Regards,

Mandy, Julian and Charlotte (our lovely daughter)
