As usual in the blog, the accommodations that I recommend you know them first hand or recommended by a traveler or friend with whom I share criteria.

The hotels that I recommend neither invite me nor pay me to be on this list. I always choose my accommodations according to my criteria, I think it is the most correct way to be able to talk freely about the places and not to advertise for the fact that they pay you or invite you to sleep.
The variety of hotels usually have parking for your customers, so you will not have problems parking.
