) If you're looking for a business-style hotel, this
is it. Big beds (check), flat-screen TVs (check), clean and modern bathrooms, pool, onsite
restaurant and casino (check, check, check and check). What's missing is a bit of soul. But
who needs soul when you've got cable TV?
Hotel Bernal $
(
527-9468; Brasil 701; s/d/tr B$85/130/170)
Opposite the bus terminal, this budget
option has soft beds, limpid pillows and slightly dirty sheets. The baths are tight, but have
a good supply of hot water.

; Sucre 370; s/d/tr incl breakfast B$150/200/230;
) You'll love the sign at this faded but likeable old place. It has a variety of ever so
slightly smoky rooms in two wings, all with cable TV and pretty nice hot showers. The
third-story rooms are the best.
Residencial San Miguel $
(
527-2132; Sucre 331; s/d without bathroom B$30/50)
The cheapest place in town is
handy for both the train station and the center, but it's pretty rock bottom in terms of com-
fort. Hot water is sporadic and rooms are tiny. But at least the threadbare sheets seem to
be clean.

Eating
Local specialties include
thimpu de cordero
(a mutton-and-vegetable concoction
smothered with
llajua,
a hot tomato-based sauce) and
charquekan
(sun-dried llama meat
with corn, potatoes, eggs and cheese).
Note that most restaurants are closed on Sunday evening, except the fast-food places
along the main plaza.
