Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, the 150-year-old building was a popular hostel called “La Española”, known locally as la Fonda de la Fructuosa, which was the name of the owner. It was a guesthouse with 4 small bedrooms plus the owner´s own room, a dining room and a small kitchen. In the basement were the stables, a rudimentary lavatory and the winery with all the machinery necessary to produce wines and liquors, a —metre press, a room with 4 large barrels and a distillery.
