Where is your signature
If it were me I would be asking the credit card company for a copy of the signed credit card receipt to show that I had made or authourized the charge.
While the criminal action was taken by the hotel the CC company has a responsability to only pay legitimate and authorized bills.

This was the hotel employee, not the hotel. This is no crummy establishment:
Hotel Tarifa - Beach Hotel ARTE VIDA TARIFA - hotel y alojamiento en Tarifa
The transaction was authorised, by chip and PIN.
I've already offered to write a letter in Spanish. What more can one do?

Just to add a point about using CCs

I have on occasions had a cc transaction "not go through" - I don't know the reason, nor do I care particularly - that's technology for you.
In every case, the operator of the cc machine has run the card through the machine again to show a negative "cancellation" transaction for the same amount of currency.
Yes, they do negative as well as positive transactions.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
