The building dates back to the 18th century and represents the typical Serrano style of the area. Alterations were made in the first half of the 19th century, which mainly affected the facade of the building and in the latter half of this century it began to be used as a travellers’ inn. The building consists of 2 parts with a small patio between them. The first part, being the front of the building, is the oldest which maintains the original chestnut beamed ceilings, so typical of the area. The back half of the building was used for storage and stables where travellers could stable their animals overnight. The Posada, as the village of Alajar, was a place of passing trade where travellers stopped to sell, rest and then continue their route to Sevilla with products from Portugal. Despite the renovations needed to provide an up to date facility, the Posada remains a charming building, enclosed by walls that hide centuries of history and character.

The various rooms and lounges allow guests to feel at home as soon as they arrive, breathing in the atmosphere of the ancient walls and wooden ceilings, along with that welcoming smell of oak ablaze in our fire places. To this we have to add the friendly, hospitable hosts, Angel and Lucy, who aim to provide that personal touch that we all wish to find while away from home which makes your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
