Picture choosen by: MissWang Yenshan Accommodation in Spain There are many different kinds of tourist accommodations, ranging from hotels, pensions, rented villas, to camping or even monasteries.
"7% VAT is not included" is a common trick for mid-range guesthouses and hotels: always check the small print when you choose your place to stay. VAT is IVA in Spanish.
Small villages
Besides the coasts, Spain is rich in tourists-friendly inland small villages, like Alquezar: with narrow medieval streets, charming silence and isolation, still good selection of affordable restaurants and accommodation.
Casa Rural, the B&Bs of Spain
For a more homely sort of accommodation consider the Casa Rural. A Casa Rural is the rough equivalent to a Bed and Breakfast or a Gîte. Not all houses are situated in the countryside, as the name implies. Some are situated in the smaller towns, and they exist in virtually every province.
Casas Rurales, throughout Spain, vary in quality and price. In some regions, like Galicia, they are strictly controlled and inspected. Other regions are not so thorough in applying their regulations.
Some websites, such as Toprural or Planrural charge owners for a listing. There are reviews of the houses, in several languages. Others, such as Casas rurales, are free to owners.
Hotels
Many foreign visitors to Spain stay in hotels that have been organised by the various tour operators that offer package holidays to the popular Spanish resorts on the costas and islands. However, for the independent traveller, there are many hotels all over the country in all categories and to suit every budget. In fact, due to the well developed internal and foreign tourism markets Spain may well be one of the best served European countries in terms of numbers and quality of hotels. There are many well-run Spanish hotel groups that are worth considering when deciding on a hotel to stay in Spain. One of the best-known Spanish hotel groups is Sol Melía The group operates hotels not only all over Spain but all over the world under the brands Gran Melía, Melía, ME, Innside, Tryp, Sol, Paradisus and Sol Melía Vacation Club. Another well-known Spanish hotel group Hotels Barceló.
Hostels

Apartment Rental
