Nearly every hotel in Andalucía is listed on www.booking.com, where, in theory, you’ll always get the lowest price. Bear in mind, though, that by contacting the hotel directly you’ll be saving them the commission they’d pay to the website, so they’re sometimes happy to cut out the third party and offer a lower price. Hotels may also have special offers posted on their own websites. However, both booking.com and TripAdvisor (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) can be a good starting point if you wish to read about other guests’ experiences at any given place.

Hotels in Andalucía make extensive use of marble. It’s a perfect material for the searing heat of the summer, but in winter marble floors can be icy cold. Pack a pair of slippers: they can be a godsend if travelling when the weather is cold. And when sleeping in budget options during cold weather it’s worth ringing ahead to ask the owners if they’d mind switching on the heating before your arrival. Remember, too, that cheaper hostels often don’t provide soap or shampoo.
