print this pageFirst off, let's settle the name issue. In Spanish, "TIJCAL" stands for "Work, Equality, Justice, Culture, Friendliness, and Liberty." Move over Best Western—this place promises an ideology!
We stayed at the Hostal Tijcal I in spring 2002, and then revisited almost exactly two years later. The room we had stayed in before, along with most of the hostal, had been given a makeover. The floor was freshly tiled floor, the bathroom had been renovated, and there was a pleasing new paint job. All renovated rooms had air-conditioning units installed. They even hung a Van Gogh print on the wall. (Well, somebody got fancy on us!)
Owners Gabriel, Marcelo, and Ramon have put a lot of time, hard work, and fresh paint into their endeavor. The Tijcal's 31 rooms are painted in bright, happy hues and equipped with private facilities. Fourteen of these have views, and, possibly, balconies (make sure to ask ahead). Best of all, the hostal is located just steps from Madrid's famous Plaza Mayor, making it one of the most convenient hostals on our site.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

Huertas & Santa Ana, Madrid, Spain
more information
Huertas? Santa Ana? Oddly enough, the neighborhood itself doesn't seem to know. But whatever its name, one thing's certain: this tiny (but central) stretch of city just south of Puerta del Sol is jam-packed with people, attractions, and excitement. Also known as Barrio de las Letras (or "Neighborhood of the Letters), it was once a hot spot for literary gents of Madrid's Golden Age. Remnants of 16th- and 17th-century literary life still abound around Plaza Santa Ana, including the Mueseo Cervantino, once the printing site of the first edition of Don Quixote, and the Ateneo library. Also leftover from it's literary past are the theaters and bars that have always made Huertas and Santa Ana lively and popular. Though digs in this popular hood can sometimes be on the pricier end, there are deals to be had for travelers who crave a lively bar scene.
