Restaurant of the Parador de Gredos
The simplicity and forcefulness of mountain cooking
The gastronomy of the Parador de Gredos follows the line of traditional mountain cuisine, simple and terse, but rich in tasty and hearty dishes, as is the case with the rest of the Castilian recipe book. A proposal inherited from the pastoral tradition, based on top quality raw materials, rich in roasts and hearty spoon dishes.
Devotion to beans and steaks
The cosy and stately Restaurant of the Parador offers you the famous stews and casseroles from Gredos, with the tasty beans from El Barco as its flagship and other humble typical dishes such as migas del pastor (fried breadcrumbs) or patatas revolconas (potato and paprika purée). The menu includes local game meats, different cuts of grilled Avileña Negra Ibérica veal 100% native breed, delicious roasts, typical Gredos trout and cod recipes.

The first Parador
Built in 1928 as a lodge for royal hunting parties, the Parador de Gredos reflects the commitment of the Network since its inception to build hotels in unique natural settings, beyond the reach of private initiatives.
The Parador also appears in the history books as the place where the fathers of the Spanish Constitution met in early 1978 to draw up their Carta Magna. The event is commemorated in the Salón del Silencio, rebaptised as the Salón de los Ponentes, where the first text of the Spanish Constitution was drafted.
