Alavera de los Baños

Alavera de los Baños literally means “by the side of the baths”. As the name implies, it is right by the 13th century public baths of the Moorish citadel. These are considered to be one of the best Islamic examples of their kind anywhere – and are not to be missed. The hotel itself is small, charming and located by the edge of the wonderful medieval town of Ronda. Inma and Christian, the very friendly hosts, have built up Alavera in keeping with Spanish-Moorish traditions. Hence the interior includes wafer bricks and warm colours whilst the exterior is made up of whitewashed walls, terra cotta tiles, railings with flowers etc. There is also a reading room come library and lounge. A really attractive and well-decorated hotel that provides for a pleasant stay.
