Hotel La Posada del Conde (The Count Inn), Ardales

This hotel-restaurant, named the "Count Inn", is situated in the heart of the Natural Park of the Gaitanes Gorge, enjoying a mountainous environment and exceptionally rich swamps. The establishment, which remains in operation throughout the year, opened in 2000. Although it is a new building with all modern hotel facilities, it has kept the typical Andalusian style with brick, stone and wood ceilings, resulting in a work of ancient taste integrated in the environment. There are 25 rooms for a maximum capacity of 52 persons: 24 double rooms (one with whirlpool and one with a sauna), one suit, all of them with heating, telephone, television, and air conditioning.
