At Paradores, we know that travelling is so much better when no one is left behind. And yes, that includes that faithful companion who looks at you as if to say: “I’m coming too, aren’t I?”. At Paradores, we’re clear on this: yes, you’re coming. That’s why more and more hotels are opening their doors to pets, so you can share unforgettable getaways in unique settings, whether in the midst of nature, by the sea or in the heart of cities steeped in history.
And no, it’s not just that they can come along; it’s that we’ll welcome them here just as they deserve. From the very first moment, your furry friend will have their own welcome kit with a bed and a food bowl. Because yes, you may have organised the trip… but your pet is the one who’s really going to enjoy it to the full.
That said, before you pack your bags, as with any good getaway, there are a few basic rules to ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s important always to check the specific conditions (weight, breed, etc.) with your chosen Parador when you book. During your stay, your pet must be kept on a lead, carried in your arms or in a carrier in communal areas, and must not be left alone in the room. If you’d like to know all the details, you can check them here.
With that sorted… the fun begins: choosing your destination.
A map of plans for every sense
If your companion is one of those who doesn’t understand the word ‘tired’, mountain destinations will be your ideal playground. Bielsa, Cangas de Onís, Cazorla, Fuente Dé or Gredos invite you to lose yourselves among forests, trails and landscapes where you can run, explore and stop only to take a deep breath.
If, on the other hand, you’re more into sea breezes, sand beneath your paws and endless walks by the water, you can head to places like El Saler, Ribadeo, Málaga Golf or the islands, where the waves set the pace.
And for those who prefer city breaks steeped in history, culture and leisurely strolls, cities such as Albacete, Tordesillas, Tui, Ceuta or Benavente are the perfect setting for discovering new places together.
But if there’s one thing that really sets Paradores apart, as you’ll know, it’s sleeping in places steeped in history. And yes, there are also historic Paradores where pets can enjoy ‘sniffing out centuries’ of history. For them (and for you), destinations such as Ciudad Rodrigo, Guadalupe, Jarandilla, Verín or Zafra and even, Casa da Ínsua, in Portugal, are a pure experience.
Plans together, at the Parador too
At some Paradores, your pet can also join you in the café or on the terrace to enjoy a snack or a drink with a view. Simple moments that taste so much better when shared.
The only problem is choosing just one. With so many destinations and plans, in this case, the hard part isn’t travelling with your pet… it’s deciding where to go first. But don’t worry, there’s always time to go back.
So now you know, get their lead ready, pack their favourite toy in your suitcase and choose your next destination at Paradores. Because if one thing is for sure, it’s that the best trips… are the ones you share.
