Posada y Cabañas El Barranco

Posada y Cabañas El Barranco

10/10 Excellent
"this was a great choice, the cabin was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed from the coffee maker AND the coffee, to the spacious upstairs. andrea who was at the desk gave us a whole rundown on the town and the trails, googling the weather forecast for us to help us plan what day to do what trail. she gave us info on what restaurants and markets were open (we went in the winter when most things are shuttered). she also gave us a later checkout which was really helpful. all in all, it was a great stay, i would highly recommend."
