Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify?All the eco labels in Spain require an annual subscription of 1000 euros and do not actually ask hotels to be ecological, so it is just greenwashing. We have been as eco as possible since we opened 15 years ago. Our AC only runs during the day when there is enough power produced by the sun. We use as little as possible and run the whole hotel on less than 4kw, everything is as low energy usage as possible. We are completely off grid for everything, power, sewage, water. We use wooden shutters and shading (including deciduous trees) to reduce the sun heating the buildings in the Summer and then open the shutters remove shading in the Winter so the sun warms the building in the Winter. We have windows that allow the sun to shine in and heat the buildings but do not allow heat/cold to pass through normally. Vegan and vegetarian km zero menu as standard. Bikes can be rented onsite. We include walking and biking routes with every stay. Recycling bins are available in the different parts of the hotel and we sort the room waste. We use ventilation to control the building temperatures, using warm winter afternoon air and cool Summer night time air to ventilate the buildings. Every area of the running of the hotel is altered to be as ecologic and sustainable as possible and is always being adapted as required. Suggestions on how to be more environmentally friendly as always welcome.
