When to go?

The hotel is open all year round. The landscape is semi-desert so rain is unlikely, but bear in mind that temperatures soar to 38 degrees in summer. May and October are especially good months to come, though it can get cold at night outside of summer. Weekends tend to be busier than weekdays with the great and the good of Madrid and Barcelona escaping the city. Note that lots of restaurants and bars are closed Sunday-Tuesday in Tudela so you might want to factor this into your trip.

Author's tips

• You pay a toll to use the motorways in Spain and as a result the Spanish tend to keep off them. This means they’re pretty much empty, so if you want to head up to Pamplona or the Rioja take the motorway and get up there in no time at all
  
• We'd recommend a 2-night stay
