Casa da Ínsua is located in Penalva do Castelo, a small Portuguese village only 25 kilometres from Visau and 70 kilometres from the Spanish border. This Baroque-style building was built in the second half of the 18th century, restored in 2009, and converted into a Parador in 2015, becoming the first hotel of the Parador Network to be located outside Spain.

Half an hour’s drive from Seville, the Parador de Carmona, an Andalusi palace, stands on the ruins of an impressive 14th c. Moorish castle as a testimony to the region’s past.

 

The building crowns the city and offers a panoramic view from every corner of the Parador, especially from the terrace and swimming pool. Inside, Mudejar patterns are the main feature of the exquisite décor, which creates unique spaces such as the interior patio, the Salón Bermejo, with its tapestries and antiques, and the old refectory, now converted into a restaurant.

This Parador in the old Palace of Piedras Albas can be found in the historical quarter of Ávila, where it forms part of its iconic walls. The interior pays homage to the original setting of the rooms, creating an intimate and welcoming environment.

 

Beautiful decorations, stone floors, and even four-poster canopy beds come together to make a harmonious and light filled setting that combines tradition and modernity, with the latest features such a glazed patio and scalable rooms. The Parador is also surrounded by gardens that are ideal for relaxing and discovering its archaeological collection.

 

The historical character of the building has some effect on access for pedestrians. If you have any mobility issues, please contact the Parador so we can inform you about the best way to access the Parador.

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.

If there’s a Parador that breaks with the historical building trend to become a symbol of modernity, it’s the Parador de Antequera. Located in a garden area of the city, it’s the ideal place to relax and rest, or to celebrate any event. Its huge windows let light flood in from all corners and give you views of a magnificent Andalusian landscape, with warm sunsets over the Antequera plain and rock formations such as the Peña de los Enamorados or Lovers’ Peak.

Located in a truly exceptional cultural and historical setting, the Parador de Almagro occupies the old Convent of Santa Catalina, which dates back to the 17th century and was the city’s first Franciscan convent.

 

Visitors can enjoy the unique setting of the 400-year-old monastery, including its beautiful Mudejar tiling. The building itself is full of surprises, such as its 14 interior patios, galleries and passageways with characteristic blue beams, as well as the traditional tilework with geometric decoration.

The Parador de Albacete, located on the wide plains of La Mancha, is the ideal place to disconnect, relax, play golf and cool off in the swimming pool on hot summer afternoons in La Mancha. The building is an estate with wide corridors, terracotta tiled floors, wooden ceilings and spacious gardens that will remind you of the inns described by Miguel de Cervantes in his most universal book "The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha".

The Parador de El Saler is famous for being located next to a prestigious and internationally recognised golf course. It occupies a modern building with spacious and comfortable rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, extensive gardens, a relaxing spa, a football pitch and luxurious outdoor terraces with beautiful views of the surrounding area: the golf course, the Albufera Natural Park and the Mediterranean Sea. The modern convention and events hall "Vela Latina", with a capacity for 400 people, makes this Parador ideal for all kinds of celebrations.

The Parador de Benicarló is just a few steps away from the beach. It’s a comfortable hotel with a simple decor that offers rooms overlooking the sea. It’s surrounded by an exceptional garden that’s directly connected to the waves and a swimming pool that stays open all summer until October. The Mediterranean cuisine is the star of the dishes produced in our restaurant. There’s no shortage of fish or garden produce, such as the splendid Benicarló artichoke, with its own designation of origin.

The Parador de Santiago de Compostela is one of the oldest and most luxurious hotels in Spain. It is in the Plaza del Obradoiro next to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most visited cathedrals in the world, and has witnessed the passage of pilgrims over the centuries. It began as a Royal Hospital with the Catholic Monarchs to offer them shelter and today it’s known as Hostal dos Reis Católicos. The historic building preserves the Plateresque façade on the outside, four cloisters, elegant corridors and hallways, spectacular rooms, and a museum in its interior.
