Nestled among the majestic mountains of the Catalan Pyrenees and just a stone's throw from the Andorran border, La Seu d'Urgell is a superb location for those seeking nature, history and culture in a single destination. In the heart of the county of Alt Urgell, this open, vibrant and monumental…

There are first times that you remember for the rest of your life. Your first date, your first job, your first trip that changed your outlook... and yes, the first time you stay at a Parador, too. Because it's not just another hotel, it's the gateway to a different way of travelling, where…

The readers' long wait has been rewarded. The Way of the Father is the last book in the trilogy of A Saga of the Ancient Family, a cult phenomenon that transcends fantasy literature. Eva García Saénz de Urturi explores universal questions such as longevity, memory and identity. Once again, the…

Although the season is coming to an end, there is nothing better than continuing to enjoy its colours, aromas and flavours. Autumn is a time of gathering, of harvesting, of intense flavours that connect us to the earth. And in Spain, with its rich gastronomic tradition, there is no better way to…

We return with renewed curiosity to the monastery of San Juan Bautista, known to many as "El Escorial asturiano" (the Asturian Escorial), and more familiar to all of us as the Parador de Corias. What is now a majestic hotel overlooking the Narcea River was the spiritual heart of western Asturias…
