Palacete Alba is a fictional hotel with five rooms in a grand townhouse in the old town: wallpaper, paintings, brass lamps and an old-fashioned key on every door. Step outside and you are in the centre; step in and the noise stays outside.
Everything you see on this website is an example: the name, the prices, the times and the texts. (Fictional hotel.)
