listed as Hostel Palma on booking.com
Pleasant hotel with decent rooms, 10 minute walk from the bus station and city center. 24-hour reception, with a restaurant and bar on the ground floor. For some reason, it's listed as "Hostel Palma" on booking.com, but it is in fact, a hotel. Ask if the King Room is available- it's on the top floor and has a large balcony with a nice view of the surrounding hills.
Friendly staff will offer you a sample slice of meat or fresh cheese. Approximately €15 for a kilo of smoked tenderloin. The meat travels well as it does not need to be refrigerated and they will vacuum-seal it for you in the shop.
Walk around, it’s a small, but charming city with a decent pedestrian street with many cafés in the city center.
