Hostel in Spain.....But Where?????

Madrid and Barcelona are already pretty full of hostels. Very good ones as well. There are still many smaller towns but you should be quick. I think many owners with properties in the bic cities will expand to these towns very soon. They have well-known brands and can "feed" these outposts from the city hostels, so they´ll be hard to compete.

Ibiza is a totally blank spot. It´s risky because it´s an island - only ferries and planes go there, so maybe not interesting enough if you travel on a Eurail pass. Anyway, it has still a huge reputation as party hotspot. Flights from the UK and Germany are extremely cheap. You would have a very long season - apart from three months in Winter it´s always nice there, but even during winter, many cyclists go there because it´s one of the few spots in Europe where they can do proper training. Not your classic backpacker clientele, but they are certainly willing to stay in hostels - in Vienna, this sort of types fills both our hostels on the Vienna City Marathon weekend.

I know of one who was interested in Seville, maybe it´s one of the blokes you know. Woo-hoo, aren´t we conspirative? :D
He told me the bureaucracy made him nuts so he skipped it.

I can´t imagine Fuerteventura can sustain a hostel - I have been there. No backpacker-type of people go there, apart from a few surfers. The island has (in my opinion) absolutely nothing to offer except for beaches. No hiking, no cool nightlife, nada.

Maybe Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria could work. Many Germans and Brits go there to learn Spanish. If you are on good terms with the language schools (=bribe them) they can provide you with students who stay two or three weeks each. Las Palmas also attracts surfers. They would love a hostel full of 19-year old language school chicks! :D

People DO go to France. Paris and Nice are the main spots though. It´s the same with Germany: Berlin and Munich are extremely popular, but the whole rest is completely under-rated. There are plenty of small hostels all over Germany though. I have no idea why there are so few in France.

ok,hmmm well the bureaucracy in seville has put me off abit,just want somewhere were there wont be much hassle.i suppose i want a australian style backpackers as ive just come back from spending 18 months over there.grandcaneria sounds nice but i dont just want to attract 20-30's who are there just get pissed everynight.any other suggestions?
im hopeing for one that can hold 20-30 guests so only on the small scale to start with,easy to manage and to keep clean also be equipped with everything one will need.
