A Night in Palmasola

Hotel Palmasola

We arrived to Palma Sola after dark. We tried to find a spot to camp for an hour with no luck. The recommended places were too public, or the folks rambling around looked too suspicious or too drunk.


Finally a woman told us to check the Hotel Palmasola, they have a huge garden and the owner might let us stay there. We don’t usually like to stay in motels or hotels, they are out of our price range, and we know that guests without a dime aren’t always welcome... But we asked.


The owner, Prof. Sergio Arrazola turned out to be a nice man, he wanted to find a good camping spot in the yard, but after a while he just said that it would be better for everyone if we stayed in a room. So we had a room, a shower, washed some clothes. For free. Thank you! Everything was fine, except that small black and white dog who barked and yowled all night long, until my brother put him in his place. :) But no harm was done, we were able to appreciate all this luxury.
