Antonio, the youngest son was the founder of “Hotel SolPlaya”.When he was only 8 years old, he used to sell bananas along the beah. He still remenbers the sentence he used to attract customer, which was; “10 bananas for 1 peseta”.

He studied with the Jesuist, according to the education that was given at that time.When he became 14, he was recommended to work in a printer´s called “Casa Bello”.He could also help his parents with the family business.In his first summer helping his parents, he was in charge of the business´ accounts and he also drew his ideas of what was going to be his future business, The Hotel SolPlaya.

With his notebook full of drawing and lots of dreams, he was granted a 3.000 peseta loan. Whith this money,that bright and enterprising boy started what now is our hotel which 100 years later is still a family business. When he became 45, he decided to start up some other busnisesses, so he didn´t run the hotel for 15 years.When he became 60, he took up the management of the hotel, this time with his own family: his wife Lola and his sons Antonio and Carlos, who currently run the hotel.From that moment the hotel was called “SolPlaya”.

What started being a modest open-air bar where some meals were served, Little by Little became a hotel. They stared by renting a room, later a floor with 9 rooms, a second floor with six more rooms, some time later 20 more rooms. And year by year, until reaching the ammount of 3 buildings with many rooms which offer the traveler and business people the best views of Valencia, the best balcony to the Mediterranean sea.
