What does "posaducha" mean in english?

Question

I came across the word in "La cana," a short story by Emilia Pardo-Bazan, and can't figure out what it means in english. I have checked several sources (both online and in print) and can't find any translation. The sentence it appears in is:

"Una infecta posaducha de ultima fila."

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

means posada or cheap room

like a cheap hotel---infecta posaducha---infected place

the ultima fila ---of the lowest class

posada= guest house, lodging, accommodation.

posaducha=despectivo=Depreciatory; denoting contempt
