Exclusive outdoor areas for which an intense programme of activities has been designed. 

There's still time to plan a route to a few of our Paradores in Galicia. Delight in landscapes where there is always something green, viewpoints overlooking the breaking waves of the Atlantic, fortresses that become cozy hideaways and seafood like no other in the world. Enjoy a Galician getaway and explore a land of legends, landscapes and the cuisine of both land and sea!

They emerge in the middle of the ocean as a protective barrier of the littoral, a natural containment against the untamed Atlantic. It has the most beautiful beach in the world, found in the Cíes, the cold Caribbean of the Atlantic, and the largest laurel forest on the continent. And its sea depths are a natural wonder. Here you will find Rodas, the best beach of the world (The Guardina, 2007)

An enchanting hotel in Portugal: Casa da Ínsua, located in Penalva do Castelo, was built as a baroque-style manor house in the 18th century. It boasts 35 historic rooms, each named for one of the figures that formed part of the life and development of a building that is unique in its area. A Parador in Portugal looks forward to welcoming you.

One step away, the cliff. The sea roars and extends its murmur to the rooms, from where you can see the precipice and the vastness of the ocean. Three of the most amazing Paradores stand on three peninsulas. Like balconies hanging over the sea.

There was once a time when the boardwalk was one of the most dangerous routes in the world. This trail, located in the province of Malaga, was inaugurated in 1921 by King Alfonso XII, though it had been used for many years prior to this by the Hydroelectric Power station El Chorro workers between 1901 and 1905, as they undertook maintenance work on the Gaitanejo and Chorro gorges. Let's take a journey to Malaga to follow the footsteps of the Kings on the Caminito del Rey boardwalk.

This is one of the most visited spots on the Canary Islands, Mount Teide, a volcano which climbs to 3,718 meters above sea level, the highest point in Spain. And at its foot is the only hotel where you wake to a view of the peak, the Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide.
