Encouraging reading is everyone’s duty, not just school teachers, high school teachers or committed parents. Few things can make better company than a good book. With a book in hand we can travel wherever we want without moving from the place we have chosen to read. If reading catches us, we can go as far as our imagination allows. Let yourself be seduced by the unparalleled pleasure of reading under a cool shade by the pool, or savoring a good coffee at the bar, or on the terrace of the restaurant, after a tasty lunch. Any time is perfect. In our hotel there are a thousand places where you can spend an afternoon of peace and tranquility in the company of one of your favorite writers.

Why not go for a walk in the village with a good book under your arm, without a destination in mind, with all the time in the world and lose yourself within your imagination?

On every floor of our hotel you will find bookhelves full of books that might spike your interest to distract in the best way those hours of leisure and slowness so appealing in an environment such as Cómpeta. If you wish, you can also leave your books on our shelves so that others who arrive later can share your same readings and your literary tastes.

We are of the opinion that encouraging the habit of reading is everyone’s business, when our guests settle in their rooms they find a very special gift from the Hotel Balcón de Cómpeta: it is a special edition made especially for our visitors with a selection of poems, in Spanish and English, of three Spanish poets of universal prestige: Federico García Lorca, Antonio Machado and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer.

A gift from the heart, so that the memory of your stay with us will accompany you wherever you go.
