As you know, the Nature for the senses programme is Paradores' commitment to a new way of travelling, one that is more aware, more leisurely and deeply connected with the environment. A programme born out of a commitment to sustainable ecotourism, the protection of biodiversity and support for local producers and communities that keep the heart of rural Spain alive.
In the month of love, giving the gift of time, beauty and unique experiences becomes the best declaration of love. Valentine's Day is not just a day, but a memory that is built with every moment shared.
From sleeping under a starry sky in Gran Canaria to dining by candlelight in the Nasrid gardens of the Alhambra, we offer plans designed to connect, surprise and celebrate love.

Once again, Romantic February is back, a special offering designed for couples to enjoy an unforgettable getaway in some of Spain's most beautiful locations.
Carnival is not just a date on the calendar or a series of parades. It's a different way of travelling. It's arriving at a place when everything is happening, when people take to the streets without watching the clock and cities show themselves as they really are: noisy, ironic, creative and hospitable. It's improvising plans that go on and on, sharing a table after hours of laughter and walking back without rushing because there's always something else to see or hear just around the corner.
En estos viajes no importa tanto el destino como la forma en la que consigue conquistarte. Hay lugares que lo hacen con una luz irrepetible, otros con paisajes que parecen desafiar la imaginación, con sabores que solo tienen sentido frente al mar o con esa capacidad de hacer que el tiempo deje de importar.
Some people put their swimwear away as soon as the first chill arrives. Others understand that true luxury has little to do with the calendar. For those who refuse to renounce the pleasure of water — even when winter settles in — there are places where swimming remains a ritual to be cherished. Whether beneath the soft light of the islands or cocooned in a heated pool while the cold lingers beyond the glass, Paradores elevates winter swimming into something unforgettable. A simple act that becomes indulgence, self-care, and a more intimate way of travelling.
At Paradores, we have spent almost 100 years championing a form of tourism that is not only excellent, but also responsible. Today, more than ever, we are convinced that the future of tourism must be sustainable. This means not only protecting our landscapes, our history and our traditions, but also ensuring that future generations can enjoy everything we offer in an ethical, respectful and, above all, responsible way.
Why is sustainability so important to us?
