Thank you all for the responses, and yes, "cerveza" works fairly well in
Mexico as well. :-).
By the way, does anyone know what the electrical plugs look like? I'll need
to bring the right adapter.

Lucas suggested the "Paradores" chain of hotels. They're excellent,

hotels you please, because hotels in Spain are good to excellent,
provided you don't choose the cheapest possible accomodation. Even in
that case, many places are decent.
One of the best experiences I had was in a small hostal (a family-run
little hotel) in Córdoba. Beautiful moorish house, I had my own little
room, and breakfast in the moorish patio, served by the owner, all
included for 23 euros.
Or for the adventurous, or at least young at heart:
http://www.hospitalityclub.org
It is a hospitality exchange community. I´ve stayed with locals in
Sevilla, Granada, Barcelona, Prague, and now I´ll spend a few days
with someone in Budapest. Excellent way to actually see a place, hang
out with locals, eat at the not-touristy spots, and make friends on
the way.
Cheers,
