| Description | |||||
| The origin
of the Paradors goes back to 1910, when the Government of Spain decided
to create a hotel structured network, nonexistent at that time, in whose
establishments hikers and travellers were provided lodging, while at the
same time improving the international image of Spain. In other words,
the desire was to build a series of hotels in places where private
initiative did not reach and that had all the attractive conditions for
tourism, such as buildings in places of great beauty, or towns with
varied cultural, artistic and historical richness. Some years had to pass before the birth of the first establishments that would eventually form what is now called the Parador Network. That was in 1926, when, King Alfonso XIII made the effort to personally pick out the best location of that first establishment. The place he chose was Sierra de Gredos, between Madrid and Ávila, in the middle of a place of singular beauty. After the construction of that first Parador, a frantic race of inaugurations began which, within a short amount of time, quickly became a prestigious network. It's a public enterprise that nearly a century later is recognised, nationally and internationally, for its exemplary importance and prestige. From the beginning, Paradors and excellent food have always gone hand in hand. Paradors are notable buildings of great historical and artistic value, where everything possible is done to preserve the regional cuisine of the place where they are located. Moreover, Paradors have been characterized throughout their history as having culinary professionals, who know how to combine tradition and the avant-garde in their dishes. In short, the Paradors aim to preserve the artistic heritage of Spain by providing accommodation in places somewhat lost in time. Nowadays, you can find Paradors in what were once castles, palaces, fortresses, convents, monasteries and other important historical buildings located which bring history and essence of Spain to life. Nowadays 98 Paradors are scattered over whole Spain to welcome travellers. We have linked a varied selection of Paradors in one unique bicycle tour which we have called Camino de Paradores. |
