History and modernity go hand in hand at the Parador de Alcalá de Henares to make a unique combination. The building itself, made up of three restored 17th c. convent schools, blends together with designer décor without losing its historical flavour. Outstanding features of parador include the spectacular cloisters, the Jardín Tallado and the spa, located under the vaults of the old convent church.
The Parador is ideal for events, meetings and celebrations of all kinds thanks to its 5 room Convention Centre and the Auditorium, which can be divided into 6 additional areas. Added advantages are its location just twenty minute away from the airport and the IFEMA trade fair facilities, while Madrid is only half an hour’s drive away.
Halfway between León and Zamora, dominating a a crossroads of ancient pathways, stands the Parador de Benavente on the remains of the castle of Los Pimentel. The Parador includes the Renaissance Torre del Caracol, which is home to a magnificent Mudejar coffered ceiling and a period bar.
The décor, with tapestries, cast iron lamps and handmade materials will transport you to another age. The Gardens of La Mota that surround it, and the spectacular views over the valleys of El Tera and El Órbigo, make it the ideal place to relax, with spots such as the swimming pool and terraces where guests can take it easy and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
To the south of the Rías Baixas (four estuarine inlets), protected by the sea and with views of the beautiful Bay of Baiona, is the peninsula of Monterreal. There the Parador de Baiona awaits you: a historical castle with spectacular views of the ocean.
A mix between a medieval castle and a Galician stately home, the Parador offers regal and elegant rooms carefully decorated that will take you back in time to another age. Outstanding features include the majestic stone stairway in the reception area and a huge garden, equipped with a large swimming pool, from where you can view the entire bay.
The Parador de Argomaniz is an elegant Renaissance palace that looks out over the plains of Alava and the Sierra de Gorbea. An ideal place to disconnect and relax, with reading areas, terrace and gardens.
One of the most special places is the parador’s restaurant, Aletegui, in the old palace barn. The original 18th c. coffered ceiling has been conserved, while the restaurant’s porthole windows are a characteristic feature of Basque architecture. Let yourself be enchanted by this magical place where wood in all its forms makes every room unique and homely.
Situated on the gorge of the river Guadalete, the Parador de Arcos de la Frontera, the old Casa del Corregidor, offers an impressive view of the Sierra de Cádiz and the old quarter of the village.
The Parador is in a privileged location within the village: next to the Plaza del Cabildo and the Convent of the Mercedarias. The interior will delight you with its views of the rooms and its beautiful Andalusian patio, decorated with traditional trelliswork and tiles. It also makes the perfect starting point for the Wine Routes and the Route of the White Villages of Cádiz.
