Albacete lies at the heart of the La Mancha plain, with a character that blends traditional craftsmanship, wide avenues and an open-minded spirit. Historically linked to trade and the routes that criss-crossed the south-east of the Iberian peninsula, the city experienced strong growth between the 18th and 19th centuries thanks to the cutlery industry, which would become internationally renowned. Today, it offers visitors a comfortable and vibrant city break, with heritage, green spaces and a cuisine that reflects the essence of La Mancha.

The Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Cantabrian Sea. Urban beaches, vast golden sands, pristine natural landscapes, and majestic cliffs. Four distinct ways to experience a coastal getaway, where the sea is always within reach and the local heritage remains an essential part of the journey.

Rollercoasters, dinosaurs or time travel? If you’re travelling with children (or with adults who remain young at heart), there’s one question that always arises on holiday… how can we make today truly extraordinary?

The answer may be closer than you think. Just a few kilometres from some of Spain’s most captivating theme parks lie Paradores that can effortlessly transform a simple day out into a complete, luxurious getaway.

In the heart of the historic quarter, the new Parador de Ibiza has opened the doors of Almudaina, a fresh take on the Paradores dining experience, conceived for a cosmopolitan clientele and a destination in constant motion, without ever losing the Paradores spirit.

It is no surprise that cycle tourism continues to grow in popularity year after year. More and more travelers are seeking experiences that combine sport, nature, heritage, and gastronomy, and at Paradores, we have spent years adapting our hotels to meet the needs of this way of traveling.

With a population of just over 600, this medieval village in the Cinco Villas region possesses a rare, timeless ability to transport visitors to another era. Its cobbled streets, stone-hewn houses, ancient walls, and quiet, hidden corners whisper stories that date back centuries.

In the heart of La Vera, cradled by crystal-clear gorges, sweeping chestnut forests, and some of Extremadura’s most breathtaking landscapes, stands the Parador de Jarandilla de la Vera. This former castle-palace of the Counts of Oropesa—which famously served as a sanctuary for Emperor Charles V before his final retirement to the Monastery of Yuste—has long been a historic crossroads where heritage, nature, and culture converge.

Swimming pools, beaches, unspoilt nature, fine dining, and destinations brimming with things to do. If that’s what you’re looking for this summer, these Paradores have plenty to offer.

After all, summer is about lingering over a hearty breakfast, taking a refreshing dip after a day of exploring, discovering stunning landscapes just a few miles away, or sitting down to sample the region’s most authentic cuisine.

At Paradores, we believe that certain destinations possess an innate power to move us. We also know that extraordinary artists can transform an ordinary evening into an unforgettable memory. When the two come together, something truly magical is born. This is the very essence of Caprichos Musicales, an initiative that reimagines some of our network's most remarkable venues as intimate settings where music, gastronomy, heritage, and hospitality seamlessly intertwine.

The Nature Trails Network spans over 11,000 kilometres across the country, winding through canyons carved out by great rivers, olive groves, ancient forests, sweeping agricultural plains, volcanic peaks, and timeless villages where life still follows the rhythm of the seasons.
