Paradors form a chain ofhistoric buildings converted into lodging places all around thecountry. They stretch from Galicia in the North West throughCatalonia to Andalusia in the south, the Canary Islands and tothe Spanish cities of North Africa. It was the idea of the RoyalTourist Commissioner Marques de la Vega-Inclan in 1926 to set upparadors in places of special interest or remote locations withtwo purposes.

many options available to tourists. Eachsuggestion is accompanied by an example - one of paradorsoffered by Keytel International, the UK's only officialrepresentative for the Paradores. 1) Perhaps you wish to enjoythe atmosphere of Medieval Spain, staying in a medieval castle.Example: Cardona - the fortified 9th century enclosure, concealsa 2nd century tower and an 11th century church along withspectacular bedrooms, some with four-poster beds. Located on avantage point of the fortified town and inside the solid stonewalls, we find furniture inspired from medieval times in thedrawing rooms. 2) Then, it may be a Monastery or a MedievalHospital, where walls have been oozing religious spirit for manycenturies. Example: Guadalupe - the 15th century hospital of St.John the Baptist reflects religious spirit of absorption andreflection on the former Monastery of Nuestra Seňora deGuadalupe. The unique orchard forming the garden, its secludedswimming pool, arcade and white walls, announce the spaciousinterior, whose bedrooms recall the original religious function.3) You may prefer a stay in the Spanish countryside withcolourful views of Spanish landscape and fresh country food.This option is gaining in popularity as tourists wish to leavethe busy city life behind. Example: Keytel Int. offers a greatnumber of country-side paradors. One of them is located inAlbacete, in central Spain, near to Madrid Airport, La ManchaCountry House. The stamp of Cervantes influences the characterof this Parador, the calmness of its luxuriant garden, itsswimming pool, and attractive corridor. Its décor offers theprivacy and calm necessary to escape from daily routine inrelaxed working sessions in the Sancho Panza and Dulcinea rooms.The local cuisine covers everything from "pisto manchego" (friedvegetables), partridge in "escabeche" sauce and a puff-pastrysweet, "Miguelitos de la Roda". 4) If you are not a fan ofhistory and ancient architecture, you are free to choose aparador built in the modern style. Located in areas of greatnatural beauty, close to entertainments and shopping centresthey are built to accommodate modern requirements andconvenience. Example: El Hierro - The Parador is located on themost recent and least populated of the Canary Islands. This isalso the place, where up until a century ago, the "O" meridianline passed through. The Parador rises up, by the sea, withwhitewashed walls and wooden balconies. Comfortable bedroomscomplement an interior with an elegant, colonial tone along witha garden with a swimming pool. These unique buildings create theperfect atmosphere for your holiday, matched only by the welcomeyou will receive from the Spanish people.
