About Paradors in Spain
With over 85 years of history, Paradors offer a luxury hotel experience unlike any other. Usually located in converted historic buildings such as monasteries, castles, palaces, or fortresses, each Parador carries its own romantic charm. Some of the top destinations include the Renaissance palace in Álava, a Baroque palace in Cádiz, and a fortress in Pontevedra. The Parador in Santiago de Compostela is considered one of the oldest hotels in the world, originally built as a royal hospital to accommodate pilgrims. This deep history is a hallmark of every Parador stay.
Charm of Paradors in Spain
The name Parador comes from the Spanish word parar, meaning to stop, halt, or stay. This spirit is reflected in the forty different routes offered by Paradors, allowing guests to experience several locations in one journey. With three- or seven-night options, each route is filled with history and charm. From UNESCO Heritage sites to hidden gems, these itineraries are available online and can be adapted to every style of traveler, making them the perfect choice for a romantic holiday.
