A luxurious 16th century pilgrims’ hostel
Parador de Santo Domingo Bernardo de Fresneda

The beautiful Parador de Santo Domingo Bernardo de Fresneda is in the Convent of San Francisco, just 400 metres from the historic centre of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The building, which was commissioned by Fray Bernardo, for whom it is named, has three parts: a church, a workshop-museum and a guesthouse, and the hotel is located in the latter. A vaulted corridor (the monastery’s former wine cellar) leads to the reception area, where the main staircase begins. The impressive remodelling of the novices’ courtyard is a highlight; it is covered by a dynamic glass vault which is now where the restaurant is.

Its rooms, whose stone walls make them so special and cosy, and its outstanding decoration with contrasting red and blue-grey tones, the oil paintings with a sacred theme and works by modern graphic artists, will make your stay an exclusive experience. It also has magnificent rooms for banquets and meetings. Santo Domingo de la Calzada is in the heart of the Pilgrims’ Route to Santiago de Compostela, which makes a perfect destination for rural tourism and sports such as golf or hiking, or to enjoy the winter resort of Valdezcaray. It is a jewel on the Way of St. James, with places as special as its Cathedral and Plaza de España. There is a legend about its foundation. It’s said that in the 11th century the site of the town was a large holm oak forest on the banks of a river that flowed down from the nearby Sierra de la Demanda. A hermit called Domingo settled in this forest, and spent his time aiding the passage through such difficult lands for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
