The “Posada de los Arrieros" Hotel is located in the Heart of the National Park of Sierra Nevada, in the area of “El Puerto de la Ragua” mountain pass, a natural formation at 2000 m. in altitude, connecting the Alpujarra with the Marquesado area.The Hotel, completely refurbished and modernized, is situated at 1800 m. (5.500 feet) above sea level, in the region known as “Alpujarra”.
The building was erected upon the foundation walls of the antique and legendary “Venta del Zamburino” which dated from the late 18th century.
At the end of the Spanish Civil war, the building felt in ruins, and further was refurbished as an Inn, finally converted nowadays in a Rural Hotel, constructed utilising natural and locally crafted materials.
The Hotel is situated by the roadside of the well-known “Camino de los Arrieros”, one of the most important commercial routes since the romans and Phoenicians between the districts of Almería and Granada through this mountain pass. To be exact, this route is part of the roman route from Athens to Gibraltar, well known in this area as GR7.
