Semana 7 Lunes


We tour the hotels of San Cristobal, in an attempt to find the best place for Mum, Bel (my sister) and her husband Dave, for when they come out in December. We really want them to love the city, so it feels important to find a nice place (not to mention fun to nose round all San Cristobal’s hotels).

We start, like all good tourists, with the Lonely Planet Guide. We tour everything from the Holiday Inn (most luxurious place to stay in the centre) to the hostel opposite our flat. The trouble with hotels here is that they tend to be cold, and the nights will not be warm when they are here.

We’re just about to give up and book something far away from our flat when we stumble across the perfect place. One minute’s walk from our flat is the Posada Belen, which has warm rooms, a charming courtyard, and comfy beds (tested them ourselves). No email, no website, and definitely not in the Lonely Planet Guide. Hope they like it as much as we did.
