Do you know what would be an essential plan that you mustn't miss this autumn? Exploring some of the marvellous forests of Spain. At this time of year, you can enjoy amazing experiences for your senses. This is the time when nature is at its best, in shades of ochre, brown, red and gold. Perfect for enjoying in its purest state from one of our Paradors, set in idyllic surroundings. Destinations from where legends and history emerge. Follow leafy trails to connect with the land and with yourself.

The Parador de la Granja is one of the jewels of the Parador network. Its original conception as a home for the servants of the sons of Carlos III, Don Gabriel and Don Antonio, gave rise to an imposing building more than 200 metres long. But if you cross the threshold, you will realise that its beauty is not limited to the exterior. In addition to its spacious and bright rooms that invite you to relax, there are three courtyards that hide a striking secret.

The Escorial in Burgos, which dazzled kings, writers and an emperor. A palatial refuge that will amaze you with its marvellous collection of art.

The magic of the sunny weather gives us the perfect excuse to immerse ourselves in the tapas culture and delve even deeper into the excellence of Spanish gastronomy. At Paradores, this ritual comes to life in a special way, highlighting good taste in every detail. Our terraces offer a memorable experience. Whether enjoying the freshness of natural surroundings, savoring the best local cuisine in Renaissance corners or contemplating a mesmerizing landscape from an elevated area, the good weather is experienced at Paradores like nowhere else.

DISCOVER PARADISES NEAR THE PARADOR DE BAIONA

Some of you may remember Verano Azul, the television series that allowed a generation of people to discover a place where summer becomes a wonderful adventure. Nerja was the setting for this story of a youthful vacation whose name remains as evocative today as it was then: Blue Summer.

 If you've got a plan, Paradores has got a terrace for you. June is the month of these spaces where friendships are forged, the first coffee of the day is drunk, the last drink at night... where great stories start, small things are enjoyed and summer time. The privileged sites where Paradores are located: medieval fortresses, the beachfront, parks, palaces, convents... all offer spectacular terraces in summer. Exclusive outdoor areas for which an intense programme of activities has been designed. 

There's still time to plan a route to a few of our Paradores in Galicia. Delight in landscapes where there is always something green, viewpoints overlooking the breaking waves of the Atlantic, fortresses that become cozy hideaways and seafood like no other in the world. Enjoy a Galician getaway and explore a land of legends, landscapes and the cuisine of both land and sea!
