Posada del
Hidalgo is a beautiful colonial mansion. This attractive structure was built
in 1890 by Don Rafael Almada, a wealthy and influential "alcalde" (mayor) who
spent five years and 100,000 gold pesos on its construction. The wooden trim was
made from 285 Canadian red pine beams. |
The "Casa Vieja"
section has 12 beautiful rooms with thorough modern amenities in the colonial
design, surrounding tropical garden and a beautiful ramada.
Casa Vieja is believed to have been the original site
of "El Zorro's" house [AKA Don Diego de la Vega].
The newer style rooms
face the spacious and breathtaking garden, typical of the old tropical colonial
houses. |
