Guadix - Cueva la Graja: Luxurious troglodyte hotel!

Guadix is about 55km from Granada and this is no ordinary hotel.

This hotel is a cave. Actually is is many caves - cut into the mountain and it is fab!

We had a kitchen, a living area 9with a fireplace - they asked us when we arrived if we would like wood but we declined - STUPID mistake - damn it was COLD in the night. I thought I would die of hyperthermia... but we had been promised central heating - their vernsion of central heating was not quite the same as ours though! The bathroom was very nice and we had two seperate bedrooms... all connected by passageways with archways... very nice. It was very clean and 9apart from the bitter night cold) it was most comfortable. Thrilled we stayed here!
Outside our cave was a "garden" area and as we were the only people staying we had it exclusively to ourselves.

The owner of the hotel was very friendly (made phonecalls to the Alhambraon our behalf to try to get us tickets!). We got a complimentary bottle of wine and a candle in a terracotta pot that I had until recently when I knocked it over and smashed it!

There is a "restaurant" here. I use the word loosely. Grandma who was the cook spent a good few hours cooking our meal. She was very keen to show us her handbag that she had purchased for a bargain in town. Dinner took many hours to cook and was not the best tasting foodbut, Grandma';s company (despite the language poblems) was good and the drinks went down well whilst we waited.

I most certainly do reccomend this cave/hotel.

For our family apartment is cost €220 for two nights on a self catering basis.

Hotel Palacio de los Navas

We stayed at this old XVI century old house, now turned into a hotel. It is rather small and cozy, and is fully refurbished. The service was OK, though there is not much room for common areas, just a few sofas in the patio.

Unique Quality: It is very well located, in a pedestrian street with many bars and restaurants. It is at walking distance to everything, and there is a mini bus at the gate (nº30) that takes you right to the Alhambra Gate.

• Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

The hotel has 252 rooms are a reasonable size, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The floors are timber but surprisingly not very noisy as can be the case in some hotels. All have nice bathrooms which are full equipped, aircon and heating, satellite TV, minibar and the all important in-room safe and internet access.

Hostal Buena: Good choice for budget accommodation in Merida.

We spotted this little Hostal on a side street just off the route as you approach the centre of Merida so went in to make enquiries, a fairly simple Hostal with small slightly cramped rooms but in a quiet location and prices set very fair. As my trek-mate was only staying the one night and I was sating for 3 nights, we arranged to share a twin room on the first night and then for myself to move into a single for the next two nights.
Friendly owner, centrally located and a good choice for budget accommodation in Merida.
If you are continuing on “The Via de la Plata” then continue down Calle Calvario to the end, cross the road and go under the underpass under the railway, cross the park by The Old Roman Aqueduct and you will pick up the route on the other side of the park

We paid around 40 e for a twin and 25e for a single
Cello available at Tourist Office

The Hostal Rio: Officially” closed Hostal in Medellin

As it was Easter Sunday and there was only one Hostal listed for Medellin, we decided to ring ahead to pre-book our accommodation, It was just as well that we did because The Hostal Rio was “Officially” closed, however the owners (Who didn’t live on the premises) agreed to come and open it up for us and rent us a room when we arrived. We duly telephoned them on our arrival and within 10 minutes they came and rented us our room. We thought that it was a little expensive at 45e for 3 of us sharing a rather cramped triple bet never-the-less were grateful to the owners of the Hostal for opening it up for us.
No food available at the Hostal (I think there would have been had in not been “Officially” closed) but a few choices of restaurants / bars in town where Cello’s are also available.
Rooms are clean and as well as having a TV and have private bathrooms with lots of hot water.

Sports Hall: Perigrino Accommodaion in Campanario

For Perigrino Accommodation in Campanario contact the friendly local police (Office alongside Ayuntamiento) – They gave us a lift in their patrol car out to the Sports Hall on the outskirts of the town
Hot showers as well as toilets and wash basins but no other facilities (You have to provide your own mattress and sleeping-bag)
We weren’t given a key to the room, The Local Police let us in and showed us how to get out through the fire escape which self locked behind us, so all our belongings were secure. After we had eaten we were instructed to ring them back and someone would pop out and let us back in again !!
Again there was no charge for the accommodation.
Cello available form local police
