The carefully restored XVI century Hotel Posada La Plaza stands in the heart of Canillas de Albaida, one of the "pueblos blancos" - the white villages of Andalucia. A few miles back from the coast near Nerja, the village is perfectly situated to enjoy both the beaches and the mountains
of this beautiful region.
Within the hotel, a blend of Moorish architecture, local craftsmanship and traditional decoration gives each room an authentic Spanish feel with all the modern comforts that clients expect; and because the hotel is located in the central plaza of the village, this is also an ideal location for those wanting to experience the charms of a traditional Spanish village in the heart of the Andalucian hills.
The hotel has 1 suite, 2 family rooms and 6 double rooms. There is a small sitting/reading area, plus a large roof terrace with a jacuzzi offering panoramic views of the surrounding Sierra Almijara and Tejeda Natural Park.
All eating and drinking is provided by the hotel's own 'Restaurante La Plaza', which is well-known locally for its superb Spanish cuisine, tapas and fine wines.
The surrounding area is well known for its breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and the relaxed Spanish way of life, and therefore offers guests not just a place to chill out, remember and return to, but also a superb base for outdoor activities or simply for experiencing the Spain beyond the Costas.
Restaurant:
Restaurante La Plaza offers you a wide range of tasty and traditional food using fresh and seasonal ingredients wherever possible.
- Healthy Continental Breakfast

A Word From the Owner:

What We Say:
Isn't this what everyone wants of a holiday in Spain? Far from the madding crowd, yet close enough to drive down to the beach each day if you want. You can really taste Spain here, literally and metaphorically. Exceptional value for money too.Customer Feedback:

"I wanted to let you know that our stay at the Posada la Plaza was one of the highlights of our trip! It was very nice, clean and well priced..........the rooms were adequate and its location is fantastic.......we far preferred our stay in the Pueblos Blancos to any stay in the larger cities. I might also add that the owners were very pleasant, friendly and accommodating." K.
