Excerpt from Spain and Portugal Handbook
Hotels. It is impossible to apply the standard prevailing in more advanced countries to the hotels of Spain; and though an improvement may be noticed in recent years, the number of really good hotels in the Peninsula is far below the demands of the increasing number of visitors. This deficiency of supply has inevitably led to enhanced charges, especially in the chief centres of attraction. The Editor, however, has indicated by asterisks those hotels which he has reason to believe, from his own experience as well as from information received from travellers, to be fairly well provided with the comforts and conveniences expected in up-to-date establishments. Houses of a more modest or more primitive character, when good of their class, are described as "good" or "very fair". Comfortable quarters may, no doubt, be sometimes obtained also at inns that the Editor has not recommended or even named. But comp. p. xxv.
To hotel-keepers, tradesmen, and others the Editor begs to intimate that a character for fair dealing and courtesy towards travellers is the sole passport to his commendation, and that advertisements of every kind are strictly excluded from his Handbooks. Hotel-owners are also warned against persons representing themselves as agents for Baedeker"s Handbooks.
