Cars parked at "El Hidalgo" Motel

“El Hidalgo” was a pioneering project that introduced the concept of the motel to Spain. Though the motel concept derives from North America, in adapting it to the mentality and customs of the country, Spanish motels never became a direct copy of American types but were rather developed as roadside hotels. The Hidalgo was called a motel because the cars were to be parked close to the room, although the bill would be paid in the reception at the end of the stay.

One of the great advantages of a motel is providing the traveler with the convenience of quickly accessing their vehicle.
