We immediately loved this pension for its quirky personality and exposed brick walls. Filled with nook and crannies, it's an enchanting maze of rooms and hallways without any rhyme or reason.
If you're looking for an eccentric experience, cheap prices, and a great location, then the Pension Vergara is it. However, don't expect luxury, amenities, or services. Instead guests enjoy a wondering curiosity with an alternative, inexpensive stay in the throng of the Jewish quarter.
The Vergara's 11 rooms, all with shared bathrooms, couldn't be more different. Some have wood-beamed ceilings, others have rod-iron beds. Balconies, overflowing with plants, look out over narrow walkways. Andalusian decorations drench the walls, only interrupted by the old building's large windows.
The pension, awkwardly situated on top of a tourist shop in the heart of barrio Santa Cruz, is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. A set of narrow stairs leads up to the pension (forget wheelchairs or heavy luggage) and an enormous skylight surrounded by plants.
Random hallway bookshelves are filled with travel books presumably collected over the decades. Downstairs, the small bath includes a "child's shower," specifically built for little people. Go figure.
