With a barbecue area and a children’s playground in the garden, the Posada El Jardín is an option for families in the Castio neighbourhood, about 5 minutes on foot from the Plaza Mayor. A posada is a traditional inn. It has a terrace with mountain views and a home-made breakfast. A good fit if you travel with children or as a couple and want the centre on foot.
