“El Mantenio's location is its undeniable draw, placing you steps from Malaga's historic heart. The recently updated decor and comfortable beds are a welcome touch in this intimate, eight-room hotel, each named after a flamenco artist. While rooms can be compact, particularly for cyclists with gear, the helpful staff find solutions and the building itself whispers stories of flamenco past.”
