It hosts classical and popular concerts, opera and other events and has a capacity of 730 people in its main room and about 100 more in a secondary room.
Pretty chic hotel, especially if you like pink. A few blocks from central plaza. Neighborhood not the most aesthetic, but oh well.
This one is fairly upscale, with an indoor pool, near the city center.
Probably closest to downtown plaza and supposedly historic, looks chateau-like on outside, but kind of basic inside.
Shared rooms in a small family-run hostel/home. Wi-fi, garden, garage, bathroom and shared kitchen. Ideal for cyclists/motorcyclists.
Local buses use the SUBE card which you can buy and charge at several kiosks in the city.
