We are thinking of exploring either or both countries this November - April and thought I’d check and see if anyone has traveled or retired there to give some insight and tips. We realize both have the weather variances depending on where you are, but since the idea was to escape Virginia’s winter, we would most likely prefer to spend more time in the warmer climate and not spend more than a couple of weeks at a time in the colder areas.
Specific questions include:
- if we rented an apartment for a month to practice our Spanish, experience the local vibes and maybe some tango with local wine, where would you recommend we stay?
- we understand flying is better than long range bus trips...true?
- we like to hike and depending on climate, would probably like to do a few two nite hikes. Any experiences?
- would it make sense to see both countries in 4 - 5 months or just so one?
