| The " Paradors " are prestigious
hotel establishments situated in some very exceptional locations: castles,
monasteries and palaces, whose walls carry with them an illustrious past.
The most recently built Paradors are located in natural settings, with
the tourist in mind.
The Paradors are the ideal accommodations for visiting historic Spain,
discovering the most beautiful elements of its architectural heritage,
all the while enjoying the luxury of these highly reputable establishments.
They offer uncompromising service and comfort. With hotels ranging from
3 to 5 stars, the 86 Parador establishments are spread out over the whole
of the Iberian peninsula.

It was King Alphonse XIII who decided to create the first hotel Parador
in the Sierra de Gradps in 1926, hoping to bolster Spanish tourism. Since
that time, the network of Parador hotels has allowed tourists to discover
the land of Don Quixote, through some very unique tours and countrysides.
The most popular tours include: the route through the white villages in
Andalusia, the route through the Pyrenees, and of course the trail to
Santiago de Compostella (an itinerary that follows in the footsteps of
the famous pilgrimage trail. A little tiring, but well worth it.)

Treating yourself to a night (or several!) at a Parador is more than
just a simple night in a hotel. The charm of these establishments, like
those in Grenada, Ronda, Cuenca, or the charming town of Olite in Navarren,
is an experience you won't soon forget. And for those gourmets out there,
these hotels provide the occasion to savor the art of Spanish cuisine.
The Paradors serve traditional Spanish food using local, Mediterranean
ingredients. So, as you can see, the Paradors offer you pleasures for
all of the senses, as I myself experienced when I visited one of them
with my family. Pleasures that you will never forget. |
