Casa Julio Bastida

I stayed in this hostel in November 2007 and had a fantastic time. Our hosts didn’t speak English and w were unable to speak Spanish fluently, but it didn’t matter. They were incredibly welcoming, friendly and warm. Our room on the first floor was spacious, clean and comfortable - and breakfast was a delight. One night, the owner cooked us a delicious lobster dinner. The hotel is superbly located - just a few minutes’ walk from the main square and the bus station. I'd highly recommend staying here.
