Welcome to Trujillo, Spain, that town of conquistadors, a fine castle, and the Posada Dos Orillas. Located in the oldest part of town, only a short walk from the castle, this posada is quiet and comfortable with a wide selection of rooms.
We arrived in the middle of the morning and there was construction in the Plaza Mayor which meant we couldn’t access the hotel by the route I planned. No problem, I parked in a garage, took only the essentials for an overnight stay, and walked back. It was good exercise and an opportunity to explore another set of streets.
The reception area above gets you off to a good start. From here you can get oriented, ask questions to obtain local info, and get the password for the network. The building itself is a reformed palacio with a fair number of nooks and crannies. You’ll go through a passage or two like this on the way to your room.
You can see style and good taste on display in that photo as you will find it throughout the facility. In our room we had plenty of space in terms of sleeping, sitting, and closets.
The bathroom featured the necessities you require plus a hair dryer for those who want to remain well coiffed.
At ground level there is a restaurant. Sadly we did not have a chance to try it. However, here’s a look at the seating there.
I like the fabric stretched overhead. Although it was late April when I visited Trujillo, already the temperatures were plenty warm. Keeping the sun at bay makes things a bit more comfortable. The next morning we enjoyed the breakfast of the house and departed this lovely establishment. If I have the chance to return to Trujillo, I would definitely stay here again.
The Cafe Jardin not only went for the overhead banner, but also the frosted glass below. Let there be no mistake, this place serves Coca-Cola proudly. As if that were not enough, there was a delivery van parked out front as you can see in the next photo.
I was tempted to get behind the wheel and roll out of there toting dozen of cases of the beloved elixir. That would have been bad form while visiting another country. Still, the temptation was there. As it was, I settled for an ice-cold bottle and was on my way to see more fascinating sights in this old university town. There will be a few posts about Salamanca in the near future.
