Artola Hotel was built over an old inn where turn-of-the-century merchants with horse-drawn carriages would stop on their way to the lands of Cadiz, Algeciras, and Gibraltar.
It was turned into a hotel in 1954, and though it has been refurbished in different occasions, the building still maintains a typically Andalusian style: stucco and wood facade under terra-cotta roof, lovely garden around the building, whitewashed walls and Andalusian porch that leads to an interior patio full of flowerboxes, colourful tiles, decorative wooden wall panels and beams….By Car:
From Málaga, take A7 towards Algeciras-Cadiz, and when the road splits getting to Fuengirola, follow on your right on A7 (exit 214, DO NOT take AP7 Peaje, which is the toll road).
Pass Fuengirola, Calahonda and Cabopino (the Hotel is at KM194, but in the opposite direction, right in front of the “Cabo Pino” road signal). Keep going and exit on Las Chapas, go over the bridge, and turn left to go back on yourself re-joining A7, but in the opposite direction you came from.
Keep going other 300 metres and leave the road to get to the Hotel.
