Balcón de la Sierra Maestra

In the little town of Bartolomé Maso, you will find El Mirador, also known as the Hotel Villa Balcón de la Sierra.  It dates from the fifties, and the architecture still breaths that atmosphere.  Turquoise, blue and green dominate.  Even the local animals copy these colours.  The little houses are situated down the hill.  On top of it, there are a swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant.  A long and open gallery links the different parts of the hotel accomodation.  The view from the hill is splendid.  An absolute must for the readers of Wallpaper.
