Hotel El Salt

A practical hotel in the centre

El Salt is a modern hotel in the centre of Valderrobres, at Calle Elvira Hidalgo, 14, close to the stone bridge and the free car park beside the river. It received the tourism merit plaque from the Government of Aragon. It is a simple, comfortable hotel, with its own wood-grill restaurant and a bar-café, designed both for staying a few days in the region and for an overnight stop.

The rooms

All have a balcony. The website distinguishes five types:

• Single with balcony: double for single use, with a balcony to the castle or the inner terrace.
• Double with balcony: with a double bed.
• Double with balcony and castle views: spacious, with a private balcony or terrace towards Valderrobres castle and the River Matarraña.
• Twin with balcony, and twin with balcony and castle views.

The cot is free up to age 2 and under-5s do not pay, without breakfast, if they sleep in the existing beds; prices include VAT. The website does not publish fixed rates: they appear in its booking engine according to the date. If you book on its own website, breakfast is on the house.

Eating in house

The hotel restaurant serves lunches Tuesday to Sunday, from 13:00 to 15:30, and closes on the last Sunday of each month. There are no dinners or set menu of the day. They cook wood-grilled meats, stews and escabeches with local produce and vegetables from their kitchen garden. They publish two fixed menus: oven-roast Aragón ternasco lamb, at €34, and a grilled beef chop of about 600 g, at €40, with water and bread. From January to March they do a calçotada menu. The bar-café opens from 8:00 to 17:00.

As there are no dinners at the hotel, for the evening you will have to find a place in the town; the Fonda Angeleta also has a restaurant.

What to do from here

From the hotel you walk across the stone bridge towards the old town and climb to the castle and church. By car, the Parrizal de Beceite boardwalks, kayaking on Pena reservoir and the 4x4 route through the Ports. The hotel itself also cites the Ports of Beceite, the Ebro delta, the Vía Verde de la Terra Alta, the Maestrazgo and the Motorland circuit as excursions from Valderrobres.
