La Posada Real

My wife and I stayed in La Posada Real for 11 days in late September. Our host, and owner, Juan, was always there to help us when we needed it. The location of the apartment was in the Barrio de la Villa, which provided us the experience of living in the oldest part of the town, yet within walking distance of all the sites and amenities in the town. The apartment was very nicely finished, very clean, and everything was in working order. The Moorish Castle remains built at the edge of the escarpment were a block away, and Baroque Churches built @ the 18 century are an easy two to three blocks walking. There were three restaurants within a block, and many others in easy walking distance. ATM's are available, as are grocery stores if you want to provide your own meals. 

We rented a car upon arriving at the airport in Malaga. The roads are in excellent condition. The location of Priego de Cordoba is central to Grenada, Seville, and Cordoba. The Alhambra, in Grenada, an was an easy hour and 15 minutes away. Seville was 2 hours. A caution if you are going to be driving in Spain; they use radar on the highways. We were driving from Malaga to Priego de Cordoba, and I came over a rise and saw immediately a BIG neon sign over the highway alerting me that I was in a radar controlled area. Too late. They monitor you electronically, and I received notice a week after we returned home to the states that I was 'responsible' for a moving violation in the rental car. Not too bad... 25 euros.

All in all, this is a wonderful location to spend time. With it's plazas, Baroque churches, and white walled streets, it is very relaxing.
