Hostal Rural Alba

We stumbled across this place by chance, and I loved it. The restaurant meal was delicious, and the set menu was 12 euros for salad, bread, a first course, a second course, and dessert or coffee. The restaurant isn't expensive, and I'd also recommend trying their homemade beer. Inside, it feels like a museum of western films. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was filmed in the area, and Clint Eastwood was there.

We had a weekend stay and came away delighted. The price and quality were a good match. The amenities are basic, but everything was in excellent condition and the staff were very attentive. They also take COVID-19 precautions extremely seriously. Thank you!

We used the place for drinks and a menu del dia, and found it perfectly OK. The menu costs less than many and wasn't bad, though, as usual, there were no vegetarian options. It's also a handy base for walking to Cortijo del Fraile, where the real events behind Lorca's play, Boda de Sangre (Blood Wedding), took place, or for looking around Los Albaricoques, where many spaghetti westerns were filmed. Beyond that, it's a little out of the way.

It's a cool area to stay in, close to places where classic westerns were filmed. The room had AC and a comfortable bed, and the owners were accommodating and spoke great English. The restaurant was good too.
