What does POSADA mean in Scrabble?
noun
An inn or small hotel in a Spanish-speaking country, and a Mexican Christmas procession that re-enacts the search for lodging.
In Spain and Latin America a posada is a simple place to stay and eat, more modest than a grand hotel. During the days before Christmas the same word names the posadas of Mexico, in which neighbours walk in a group, sing, and knock on doors in memory of Mary and Joseph looking for shelter. The word is Spanish and comes from the verb for resting or lodging.
