We stayed at La Casa de los Pinguinos for 4 nights and have only praise for this hostel. It is newly constructed (a few years old) and the owner Alexandra has done a wonderful job.

We booked it because it was near the main square (10-15 minute walk) and because it was newly constructed. What a find! Alexandra, the Dutch owner, picked... more
