During our vacations, one of the most awaited moments is to sit at the table and delight ourselves with the extraordinary local gastronomy. There is no better place than Paradores to live a unique culinary experience. This summer, we highlight our most refreshing creations so you can savor moments of freshness and gastronomic exquisiteness. From main dishes to irresistible desserts, our proposals fuse rich and innovative flavors that will seduce your palate. Discover these five delicious dishes that you will find in our menu and get ready to enjoy in style.

This first elaboration can be tasted at the Parador de Lorca. The melon from Torrepacheco is distinguished by its sweet and juicy flavor, perfectly complemented by the pickled tuna that melts in the mouth. The smooth melon soup, enriched with natural yogurt, honey and a touch of mint, is delicately poured at the moment of serving, creating a refreshing and delicious contrast. Ready to delight yourself with a gastronomic experience that combines the freshest and most sophisticated flavors?

After this gastronomic feast, we invite you to explore the Parador, located in the majestic grounds of the castle of Lorca. Inside is an impressive 15th century synagogue, testimony to its rich history. But that's not all: you can also discover the ancient citadel of Lorca, known as the Fortress of the Sun, an Islamic cistern and part of the Almohad wall that defended the hill. Every corner of the Parador will transport you back in time, offering a unique cultural experience.

Decorated with cookie crumble, fresh blueberries, caramel and mint leaves, each bite is an explosion of summer flavors that will transport you to the charm of the Mediterranean.

In addition to its outstanding gastronomy, the Parador de Nerja is an idyllic place to spend the summer. Located on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and sheltered by the beaches of the Malaga coast, it offers a panoramic view from its garden that deserves to be photographed. If you come in company, take advantage of its tennis and paddle courts to exercise and work up an appetite.
