Hotel Hispanidad

The Hotel

Hotel Hispanidad is a two-star hotel on Avenida Conde de Barcelona, a few steps from the Royal Monastery of Santa María and the old town of Guadalupe, in the heart of the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Geopark. It is a simple, practical hotel, with a restaurant, a bar-café, a sitting and reading room with sofas, a meeting and events room, lift and wifi. Reception is open 24 hours, which is useful if you arrive late along the sierra roads.

The Rooms

There are four types: single, twin, double and triple. The twin, according to its listing, measures 25 m² and has two single beds, desk, wardrobe, telephone, television, heating, air conditioning, wifi and private bathroom, plus its own balcony. The triple is the option for small families or groups of friends.

With children, the hotel accepts minors of any age, but from the age of three they count as adults for occupancy purposes: include them when searching to see the right price. The cot is requested in advance, subject to availability, for €7 a night, paid separately during the stay. Pets are not accepted.

The Restaurant

It serves from breakfast to dinner with typical, traditional Extremaduran cooking, in a dining room of the hotel's own. The website publishes no menu, set menu or service hours, so ask at reception what is on that day. Having it in the house is convenient for dinner without going out when it is cold; if you prefer to eat out, the Hospedería restaurant and the Posada del Rincón bar-restaurant are a short walk away.

Parking

The hotel has a private parking area, but its website marks it as temporarily unavailable. What it does emphasise is that from here you can park in the centre of the village. At weekends and on public holidays the old town is closed to cars: then the practical option is the car parks on Avenida Eusebio González. Ask when booking whether the hotel's own car park is open yet.

Booking and Getting There

On its website you book with immediate confirmation and payment at the hotel. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before 15:30 on the day of arrival; between 48 and 24 hours before, only up to 50% per cancelled room is refunded. Check-in is in the afternoon (the website gives 15:30 in one section and 16:00 to 23:00 in another) and check-out from 7:00 to 12:00. Telephone: 927 154 210; email: [email protected].

What Is Nearby

The Royal Monastery and its museums are a few steps away, and from the door the walk through the Puebla de Guadalupe begins. For walking, the Mills Trail leaves from the village. By car, the vulture hide at Cañamero and the Castañar Cave are two outings through the geopark.
