[email protected]The Parador de Zafra is located in what was once the palace of the Dukes of Feria. The building clearly shows its long and rich history, which includes the Estremaduran explorer Hernán Cortés, an illustrious guest of the palace. The building was originally a fortress, and it went from being a Muslim fortress to be the palatial residence of the dukes. Its spectacular façade gives way to a refined interior containing the nine original towers crowned with battlements. The Parador preserves beautifully coffered ceilings, chests, ironwork, handrails and decorative elements from the old palace. The beautiful interior courtyard and the spectacular views of the city from the terrace are a highlight. An extensive range of spacious and stately rooms, an outdoor swimming pool and the well-tended garden complete the hotel's attractions.
The Parador de Zafra is located in the city centre and is a good starting point to explore it. A walking tour will suffice to discover the rich heritage of this place, which has been declared a site of national interest, with its walls and gates, buildings, streets, squares and museums. Nature lovers will also enjoy Zafra. In the area around it you can take various routes in the Cornalvo Park, the Sierra de Hornachos, the Sierra de Tentudia and the Sierra de Aracena.
