There are no "must see" sights in Broto (although there is a nice waterfall a short hike from the town center) so you wouldn't find the town listed in most travel books. Perhaps it's the quiet, the lack of tourists, and the attractive countryside that led me to stop here overnight on my road trip from Barcelona to Bilbao. I'll admit I was a little hesitant at first about the Hotel Latre. Its exterior is a little plain and it only has a 1 star rating, although stars are generally awarded based on the facilities (meeting rooms, swimming pool, etc.) more than anything else.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby.||If you want good, comfortable accommodation, excellent service and all at a great value price then this...
