At Paradores, we have been committed to caring for the planet for years. Since 2018, we have been working with an ambitious Sustainability Plan that has a clear objective: to reduce our carbon footprint and become a carbon-neutral hotel chain by 2030. We are tackling this challenge with real, visible measures in all our accommodations.
As in the great classics of cinema and literature, decision making shapes the course of the story, making us active participants in the narrative. Within our network of Paradors, the one you choose to stay at can determine the type of story you want to be a part of, but the different experiences you have and activities you do there will set the course of the story.
If we combine the pleasure of dining with good music, the result couldn't be more appetising. There is no better plan than enjoying an evening with friends, your partner or family in one of our Paradors while you enjoy a pleasant musical atmosphere. Let yourself be seduced by our gastronomy and good music in one of these three Paradors that we suggest below.
Villafranca del Bierzo, in the heart of the province of León, is a town that dazzles with its rich history and captivating natural beauty. This picturesque enclave is a melting pot of traditions and architectural heritage, with cobbled streets, Renaissance squares and the majestic Church of Santiago, a crucial stop on the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela. Surrounded by green hills and bathed by the Burbia, it offers visitors a serene retreat and a window into the past.
15 cities in Spain hold World Heritage status and all of them deserve a visit. UNESCO has recognised these cities as places that care for and maintain their cultural heritage and implement conservation plans.
Of the 15 World Heritage Cities in Spain, 11 have a Parador; one of our charming hotels from which you can discover unique places and destinations where heritage and culture take priority.
One of the most spectacular events of the year is the Perseid shower. Until August 24, you can observe magical stars crossing the sky. However, the peak occurs between August 11 and 13, when the famous tears of San Lorenzo are more frequent. For such a special occasion, there is no better place than Paradores to enjoy the beauty of the cosmos. Some of our establishments have the Starlight Destination recognition, which guarantees skies free of light pollution. Do you know which are these Paradores?
Few experiences leave us more astonished than admiring a beautiful twilight at dawn or dusk. These are moments when purplish, golden, ochre, orange and reddish tones dye the landscapes with a special charm. The magic of the twilight hour reveals an extremely impressive beauty of our Paradores. Thanks to their privileged location, close to some of the most popular areas for viewing the first and last hours of the day, you can be sure to capture photographs and experience unforgettable moments.
Few experiences are as rewarding as a leisurely stroll along the promenade of Spain's beautiful coastal towns. Undoubtedly, these are the best places to immerse yourself in the marine environment and let yourself be enveloped by the intoxicating sound of the waves. Kilometers of road await you to explore the main spectacles that take place in them, and where, at every step, you will discover landscapes worthy of treasuring in the memory.
Crossing long and majestic footbridges is a memorable experience, one of those that we keep in our memories and that we cannot resist photographing.

Don't forget to ask us at reception for these routes.
