Within the Paradores network, there are rooms that tell stories, and at the Parador de Zafra, Suite 314 is one of them. Known as the "Golden Room," opening its door means stepping into a space where the palace's memory remains alive, and every detail holds a fragment of its past.

There’s something special about travelling in spring. The light changes, the days grow longer and the pace seems to slow down. It’s the season when everything invites you to get out and about, sit in the sun in a square, discover landscapes at their best or lose yourself in cities that are waking up with renewed energy. At this time of year, Spain transforms into a mosaic of experiences where every destination experiences spring in its own way. From the explosion of nature to centuries-old traditions or getaways by the sea, there’s something for every type of traveller.

In recent years, Spain has established itself as one of the leading filming destinations for international films and TV series. In addition to the diversity of its landscapes and the charm of its historic towns, there is a truly unique feature: Paradores. The distinctive nature of these buildings—castles, monasteries, convents and palaces converted into hotels—means that, as well as accommodating travellers, they also serve as a setting or base for numerous film and TV productions.

Situated in a borderland, Molina has for centuries been a place of passage, of encounters and also of disputes. Its history dates back to Celtiberian times, although it was the Arabs who built the first great fortress that still dominates the landscape today. Later, the Christian conquest and the creation of the Lordship of Molina marked its independent character, turning it into a strategic location between kingdoms.

The countdown has already begun. In a matter of days, Easter will be upon us and, with it, one of the most exciting times of the year for travellers in Spain. During this week, many cities completely change their rhythm to the sound of drums, the scent of incense in the streets, the saetas breaking the silence, or the light of candles illuminating historic squares.

Few regions in Europe can boast such an intact medieval landscape as Castile and Leon. In this community there are more than 300 castles that can be visited, a figure that makes it the region with the highest concentration of fortresses on the continent. On cliffs, overlooking rivers or integrated into historic centres, these buildings narrate centuries of battles, noble lineages and shifting frontiers.

Sleeping in a medieval castle is always something special. But staying at the Parador de Sigüenza also means staying in a place full of stories, secrets and surprising episodes that many travellers are unaware of.

Would you like to discover them? These are some of the curiosities you may not have known about this historic castle.

There are structures that illuminate not only the night, but also the imagination. Lighthouses, rising on solitary headlands and rugged cliffs, have been silent guardians of the sea for centuries. From the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC to the towers that keep watch over our coasts today, their mission has always been the same: to guide, protect and endure.

Ibiza is not just a tourist destination, it is a place that exudes history, creativity and a unique energy that can be felt everywhere. At the new Parador de Eivissa Dalt-vila, this essence is captured and transformed into a sensory experience that invites travellers to immerse themselves in the soul of the island, where history meets modernity and art merges with nature.

This is how many family plans usually start. Then come the questions... to set dates, to find a destination that everyone likes, to decide between the sea, the mountains or the city. But when the trip coincides with the Easter holidays and the good weather, many of these questions sort themselves out. It is enough for children to hear the word "journey" to start imagining adventures of castles where knights live, beaches where they can search for treasures, cities full of narrow streets to discover or roads where every bend promises a surprise.
