Hi Graham and Sue
We have used France Passion for years and tend to travel in much the same style as yourselves. This year we are visiting Spain and tried Espana discovery for Catalonia, the Pyrenees and across to Leon. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Not a patch on France Passion with a large number of listed sites at which you cannot stay overnight (what’s the point of that?). Others that blend the scheme with charges that are difficult to avoid and many that site ‘security’ as a reason for you visiting their shop then having to leave at closing time! Our security or theirs? Not very friendly which ever is the answer! That said the first one we visited was a lovely family run olive oil mill and wine business, perfect with our dog. Would you believe that in Rioja there are only two sites and at neither can you overnight, and how many Bodegas are there in Rioja? What have the authors been doing for 12 years. So for France Passion users this publication is a big disappointment and I won’t bore you with uninhabited bodegas with no signs! Have a great trip but don’t rely on this publication.
