Top hotels in Plaza Mayor
Hotel la Boheme
Lovely one night stay in Hotel La Boheme in Cáceres. Location is brilliant just in the corner if the Plaza Mayor near the old town where you can visit all the historic locations. Plenty of options to eat nearby and the friendly owners also run a Teteria downstairs where you can sit in a little courtyard ...
