Hotel la Yedra

Excellent value hotel situated on a motorway slip road. We booked in advance as a place to stay after a few days visiting Sierra de Andujar. We wanted to visit El Torcal before returning to Malaga. Arrived early evening , plenty of free parking. Check in was a bit slow & old school but the 4 of us shared 2 rooms which were clean & spacious with excellent bathrooms , hot water & gel etc provided . Very good value price - wise. The bar is good with food being served there as well as drinks. We didn't use the restaurant & also took our breakfast in the bar which was very busy with truck drivers.

This rustic and traditional retreat has robust rural local cuisine. Hearty portions of egg, Serrano ham, green olives, olive oil, crusty durable bread, honey, and pastries bulge the menu. The Cafe is open 24 hours. The nice dining room serves late lunch and early dinner. Cars and trucks keep it constantly busy. It also has a convenience store which sells local products such as full lags of ham with their little black hooves and jars of Quince jam, called membrillo. Not so many visitors stay overnight. It is far from the Antequera train station (30 minutes) and costs about 40 euros to get from train to taxi. The two nearest towns, Antequera and Villanuev del Rosario are only 5 miles from the hotel, but without a car, they are almost impossible to get to. You can't hike on the highway, and there are no local busses. Even taxis can be too few or to busy to come when needed. We were stranded there for four hours for failing to research the transportation situation. Unless you have a car or like to hitchhike, I suggest travelers avoid this destination.

Does exactly as it says with little more than I expected. Clean rooms, budget price and with bonus of a 24 hour cafe, restaurant, shop and great parking. thank you all for an excellent stay. if you in need of a stop over on the way or returning from a road trip, this place is ideal.

Genial
