Teixido 6: the casa rural

When we were planning our trip in 2019 we wanted to stay in Texeido but there was no place within 8-10 miles of it. Since then someone built a very nice, modern casa rural a few hundred feet and around the bend from the town, by the tour bus parking lot.

We had the place to ourselves until about five and then two French couples, one with a child, arrived. Here we are all leaving the next day (this morning).

The place was very modern. We liked it a lot. One modern thing was they had radiant heat in the floors. I have always wanted to have radiant heat but it is expensive to retrofit. Turned out it was kind of an issue when we arrived (quite early 10 am). The owner just gave us a entry code and we had the place to ourselves. The heat was set to 19C and we turned it up to 22C but nothing happened for the next hour. I looked around and saw there were no air vents and realized it must be radiant heat. Radiant heat moves slowly, it took 10 hours for the heat to read 22C. And it was too warm overnight. So radiant heat is great but maybe not the best for a hotel.
