World's most camp hotel

I have walked past this small hotel in Granada hundreds of times and it always makes me smile. I have a friend who described it as "the world's most camp hotel". He spent a night there and described the interior as "comfortable and normal".

My friend's description ruined the mental image I had of the interior. I had imagined that the staff wore sailor suits and the sheets were brushed nylon, but apparently not, they're just normal.

Those flowers are ceramic tiles, each one is unique. The building must have been completed before planning restrictions were introduced, I can't imagine you'd get permission for something like that today.

I love this building. It's cheerful, colorful and eccentric.
