Hostal rural El Caminero, Purullena Overview
Hostal rural El Caminero is located in Purullena, Spain. Rated 7.9 out of 10 based on 16 guest reviews.
Hostal rural El Caminero is a practical base in Purullena, Spain, for travellers who want countryside quiet without losing access to the wider Granada province. The property sits on Avda. Andalucia, 30, making it easy to come and go by car and continue onward toward Guadix or Sierra Nevada. Rooms are kept non-smoking and include air conditioning, so day-to-night comfort is covered in warm months. Guests also have free wired internet, which helps if you’re checking directions or planning hiking routes.
With a guest rating of 7.9/10 from 16 reviews, the overall impression is steady and reliable rather than flashy. Recent visitors tend to mention the straightforward rural-hostal feel and the convenience of on-site parking options, plus the fact that pets are welcome, which is a big plus for road-trippers.
