But since you are not yet allowed to leave the province, we offer you, close to home, the opportunity to exchange your “temporary prison” for a few days in one of the beautiful rooms of La Posada del Angel where you can enjoy the culinary skills from chef and owner Alex. Take a quick look at our “Home escape package”.

La Posada del Angel, located in Ojén, with many hiking possibilities nearby, offers two nights in one of the hotel rooms, an exclusive dinner on one day and a simpler dish of the day with dessert on the other day. The dinner will be served on your own private terrace. To celebrate our reopening and start of the spring season, we offer all couples a free bottle of cava or wine. The price for two nights with breakfast and two dinners starts at  € 145 p.p. depending on your choice of room type.

If you prefer a stay of one night including dinner, the price starts at € 155 per couple for two persons.

Consult with us about the availability of this offer.

Dear traveller,

We are now almost seven weeks further in the exceptional corona situation. We hope that everyone in your vicinity is healthy and that you have found your home with each other, the work, the children and (grand) parents. In this way we want to keep travellers informed about the situation with us in Ojén.

In Ojén we only had a few corona virus cases, but now nobody suffers from it anymore.

Spain is still in lockdown and this situation has been extended again until May 24. This means that we are not allowed to go outside except for essential groceries, pharmacy and doctor’s visit. Since a few weeks, a number of companies have returned to work with the request to work from home as much as possible. A small extension has taken place from April 27. Children till the age of 14 can go out for an hour with one of the parents.

In addition, a plan with a timetable has been drawn up in which it is indicated how one would always like to extend the lock down slightly. Whether this planning will continue depends on the situation surrounding the various data and will vary for the different parts of Spain.

The latest news is that La Posada del Angel will reopen for guests from Malaga province on May 11, taking into account the current restrictions and regulations. We will adapt and comply to the ever changing rules. In the village restaurants and bars will reopen their terraces to a limited amount of visitors, while small shops will also reopen. From May 25, more restrictions will be reduced, but still only for people from Malaga province till the end of June. (Use the button at the end to read the whole plan.)

Reports have surfaced that Spain will not receive travellers from outside Spain throughout the summer period, but no official statement has ever been made. So we have to wait and see.

Of course we have  been thinking already about how we will run the hotel when we are allowed to open again.

Our idea is that due to our small scale of both the hotel and the village, we can offer guests a safe environment, while everyone will of course have to comply with the new rules of contact that we must apply everywhere. What  we see as our advantages :

• The hotel is small-scale, so we never talk about large numbers of people together
• The hotel has a lot of outdoor space, with 3 larger terraces, 3 private terraces and 2 smaller terraces.
• We will make time for breakfast. Using the lobby and 2 patios we can place the tables further apart. If necessary, we can work with time slots, which guests can choose the night before. Breakfast is then served at the table.
• If guests wish, we can cook more than 3 times a week, allowing guests to dine in a safe environment. Here too we can introduce an early and late corridor.
• Of course we will disinfect as many rooms and furniture as possible and act according to the desired guidelines.

• Beautiful walks can be made from the hotel, where you will hardly meet anyone.
• We can also provide you with extensive information about day trips, also to places that the transit tourist does not know. And we can tell you about the beautiful but quieter beaches.
• We can provide you with a nice packed lunch, which you can take with you during your trip. You can choose from sandwiches to an extensive picnic.
• Meanwhile we arrived in the spring. Much in Spain takes place outside. When restaurants are allowed to open again, they often have a terrace outside .. As soon as the restaurants are allowed to open again, we will inform the owners about their adjustments.
• Our pool is always quiet during the day because many guests are on the road. If you stay at home for a day, you may have the bath to yourself. At the busier times, between 4 pm and 8 pm, we could also work with half hour slots. Whether this works should be seen in practice.

• We also rent four houses in Ojén. Here you have your own space and terraces. Take a look at this page about our holiday homes .
• Reservations for the hotel can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before time.
• Ojén is a 15 minute drive from Marbella Old Town and the beaches.

For more information and photos, please visit our website. In the meantime, we hope that everyone stays safe and healthy so that when the world opens up again, you can count on us to organize any Spanish travel adventure. And in the meantime, we will continue to inform you about the situation in Andalusia via social media and on our website.

Not all parts are accessible for cyclists. In Estepona cycling on the promenade is forbidden, in Mijas not on weekends and in Marbella cyclists may ride a maximum of 10 km/hour.

Progress

We will follow the path in the coming period. Then we can see how fast the progress is. The video below was made at the beginning of 2019, while many pieces were tackled in that year.

For some time it has been possible to travel with a luxury camper from Ojén. In our village you can rent the camper version of your preference and Andalusia is at your feet. To Portugal, the Sierra Nevada, Cádiz or Madrid? In combination with our hotel there is the possibility to acclimatize a few days in La Posada del Angel before you leave with the camper. You can also stay in the hotel when the motorhome is not available yet or to relax at the end of your stay.

Andalusia has a lot to offer, from cities and villages to beautiful nature reserves and beaches. Three routes have now been developed. One route to and along the Costa de la Luz, a route to the Portuguese Algarve and a route to the less discovered Costa Tropical, located to the east of Malaga. But of course you can also follow your own route. We can give advice about the big cities and about other places in Andalusia that are worth visiting. With the right apps you will find places where you can spend the night with the camper. At a campsite or a beautiful location along the beach … ..

If you want to know more about this, we will put you in touch with the owner who can speak to you in Spanish, English or French. The motorhomes are available for up to 7 people, in the high season from 1 week and in the low season she rents with a minimum of 3 days. On Amelia’s site , you will find more information and photos.
