Get the best of both world's at La Posada de San Marcos where the front door takes you straight out to the hubub of a pretty white Andalusian village and our back door hides a secret oasis of peace and quiet.
A real family providing a delightful, comfortable stay in Spain's Secret Sierra. Here at San Marcos our strong green credentials and emphasis on hospitality go hand in hand, along with life's little luxuries. We are passionate about sharing all we know about the area and spend time with you at check in with our map of the village to tell you all about the village secrets!
So much to do and see in the area - from Alájar we have our very own walking notes that will take you from a short stroll to a full day's hike. Prefer to see the surrounding villages - let us show you the map of the area where we can indicate the interesting places to visit and the best restaurants in each one! More active?
