With the arrival of autumn, landscapes are transformed, and so are flavours. It is time to rediscover products that only this season can offer: game, chestnuts, mushrooms and truffles, ingredients that evoke tradition, warmth and nature.
From the Parador de Córdoba, head chef David Gómez López presents a creation that perfectly sums up the spirit of autumn: grilled venison taco with creamy chestnuts, mushrooms and truffle juice.
Autumn paints the stones gold and fills the roads with calm. It is a time for travelling, letting go and discovering hidden corners. Cathedrals that behold miracles, such as the Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada; palaces that exude nobility, such as those of Argomaniz or Zafra; or squares where village life beats, such as the Plaza de San Marcos in León.
This autumn, Paradores invites you to inhabit heritage, to sleep within centuries-old walls and to feel history from within. Choose your destination.
Some rooms echo with the passage of time. Walls have witnessed kings, promises and silences. At the Parador de Chinchón, one of these rooms opens like a reliquary: room 140, known as the Chapel of Felipe V. Inside, history and tranquillity intertwine to offer travellers more than just rest: an experience where the memory of the past becomes part of the present.
Practising yoga outdoors is far more than an aesthetic or spiritual experience: it is a healing encounter between the body, mind and nature. Science supports this: numerous studies confirm that yoga strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, boosts the immune system and enhances emotional well-being. And when your practice is transferred to natural settings, the benefits are multiplied.
Every weekend you probably feel that urge: get out, breathe fresh air, and discover something different. But sometimes the hard part isn't wanting to escape, but knowing where to go. That's why we've put together a selection of seven Spanish destinations that it's time to visit, if you haven't already. These are charming places, perfect for exploring, savouring the local cuisine and exploring the landscape. And as it's autumn, everything looks different and tastes better. Don't miss this opportunity to discover the pleasures of travelling close to home.
Although October marks the arrival of autumn and a change of pace after summer, at Paradores we believe that each season has its own flavours for celebrating and sharing. Because every gathering may become a special occasion, and every bite a moment to remember.
