               GRANADA - Casa 1800:  Hotel Casa 1800 Granada
               is a restored, 17th-century building in central Granada,
               located in El Albayzin, just over a quarter mile from
               the Alhambra.  The hotel is decorated in neutral tones,
               with exposed brick walls and luxury furniture.  Most
               bedrooms look onto the interior patio, while some have
               Alhambra views.  Casa 1800 is a 10-min walk from
               Granada Cathedral and less than 100 yards from the
               city’s Arabic Baths.  Staff is regarded as being quite
               friendly and helpful.

               CADIZ PROVINCE (near Arcos de la Fronter)  – Cortijo Barranco:  It doesn’t get much
               better than Cortijo Barranco for an authentic
               taste of life in  southwestern Spain.  This rustic
               hotel is located in the midst of a farm,
               surrounded by organic olive orchards, wheat
               fields, and an abundance of nature at its finest.
               A small collection of houses encompasses the
               estate, offering modern comforts and amenities
               while remaining true to the quiet, easygoing
               lifestyle of the Cadiz province.  You’ll certainly
               have the feel of staying at somebody’s home.
               It’s rustic and doesn’t get more authentic than
               this, but, yes, the property does have air
               conditioning.  We love Cortijo Barranco as a cozy escape from the beaten path.
