If you are passionate about history, cultural heritage and good cuisine, there is no better way to discover the jewels of inland Spain than by following a route through four of its most emblematic cities, all of them World Heritage Sites. On this tour, not only will you discover the historical and cultural wealth of Toledo, Alcalá de Henares, Segovia and Ávila, but you'll also enjoy the comfort of staying at the Parador hotels in each of these cities. Are you up for it?

Art at Paradores takes many forms. Our art collection not only comprises paintings and sculptures, but also encompasses other disciplines, in line with our mission as guardians of heritage in its fullest extent. Among the examples of this variety is the Parador de Santo Estevo, which combines its monumental building with an interior design concept in which contemporary furniture design features prominently.

At Paradores we are living an exciting time. We are preparing to celebrate our centenary in 2028 with an ambitious modernisation plan. We want to share this great step with you, because you are part of our history.

We have invested more than 250 million euros to renovate our spaces, improve sustainability and reinforce the identity of each Parador, always respecting its essence and heritage value.

Located in the heart of La Mancha, Almagro is a historical and cultural treasure where time seems to concentrate its Renaissance splendour. Declared an Historical-Artistic Site, it is the perfect destination for a day trip from any corner of Spain.

In Paradores there are many corners where time is diluted between pages and evocations. On this occasion, we allow ourselves to be drawn into the fog of mystery and the shadows of forbidden knowledge to delve into The Name of the Rose, the famous novel by Umberto Eco. Although the author was inspired by Italian abbeys to recreate the enigmatic atmosphere of his story, there is one place where the echo of that medieval intrigue resonates strongly: the Monastery of San Pedro de Villanueva, home to the Parador de Cangas de Onís.

Córdoba, a city steeped in history and charm, enchants every visitor with its extraordinary legacy and vibrant atmosphere. Dominated by the awe-inspiring Mezquita-Catedral, this Andalusian gem unfolds within a UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, where every winding alley invites you to lose yourself amidst lively patios, welcoming plazas, and taverns brimming with flamenco passion and exquisite gastronomy. With its breathtaking corners and festive spirit, Córdoba is a destination that leaves an unforgettable imprint on the soul.

Summer is the perfect time to reconnect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors. We propose a selection of unique adventures in magical destinations such as Soria, Ciudad Rodrigo and Limpias, where sustainability and respect for the environment are combined with experiences designed to awaken all your senses. It's time to explore, learn and create unforgettable memories!

June has its own charm: the sun is already warm but pleasant, the beaches are starting to fill up but there is still room for plenty of sun loungers, the atmosphere smells like a holiday but without the hustle and bustle of midsummer. It's that perfect moment when summer starts to show itself, but without all the hustle and bustle it brings with it later on.

Andalucía seduces not only with its landscapes and layers of history, but with the rich tapestry of flavours found in every corner. This culinary voyage through the region’s Paradores turns the spotlight on tapas, those little mouthfuls with big personality. From the rustic hoyo aceitunero of Jaén to the daring salchichón tartare in Málaga, each stop serves up a unique creation that distils the essence of its surroundings.

As a successful writer, she has not lost the reflexes she honed during her years in journalism.
