one person asked me today ....

Bed and Breakfast or B & B, means "bed and breakfast" (but that's easy if you use any online translator, I always use that of Google ).

The concept was born in the UK after the Second World War, at that time was moving a lot of people looking for work, even foreigners who arrived in the country in search of trabajo.Como the economic situation was not very good, people opened their homes these guests that available at a modest price of a bed with the right to breakfast. This model was exported throughout Europe, reaching the United States, in Spain we know as "Pension." But let us have stories ...

Compare the current concept of B & B with the "Pensions", does not seem right, since both the accommodations and the service is of higher quality (if you're patient and looking). Currently, B & B are back, because they are cheap accommodations comfortable and in environments that are worth staying. I mean, they are sometimes refurbished accommodation in the historic, where each room has a kitchenette and individual WC. It is customary at times to share the house with the owners. In that case the property is entitled to preserve the privacy of the family who live there, but at breakfast time do it with your family.

If you compare a B & B in a hotel, the differences are notable. A B & B is more personal, closer to the culture of the place where you go.

But forget about all the comforts and extras of a hotel, after all who need them, if you're going to spend the day walking and visiting places.

The B & B are not regulated in terms of the services they offer are regulated as hotels in Spain, and in some places abroad. As you will have to guide through different ways: the price, location, and of course the views of passengers. Find opinions about this accommodation can sometimes be tricky, so you'll have to trust your intuition and take risks. You can also try searching the opion on Google, or some specialized web. I recommend that you check the links section of GiratodoRecto.com.

We certainly do not want to end this article without indicating that I have always used the B & B within Europe and outside Europe that you can find anything, it's up to what you're fearless and daring.

In short, the location, architecture, interior decoration, installations and services vary depending on location, standards, and local people. You can find B & B homes, cottages, farmhouses, villas, inns, historic houses, castles, cottages, boats, mansions, cottages, apartments. The list could go on indefinitely. But is this variety that makes staying in a B & B is so romantic and exciting.
