Map of Paradores

Paradores

The basic philosophy of the Paradores was and continues to be one of offering good regional accommodation in areas where there was none previously, combined with the concept of utilising where possible, ancient buildings, old palaces, castles and monasteries, many of which were abandoned and in disrepair. The word Parador, meaning, ‘inn or lodgings’, is synonymous today with one of the most successful concepts in cultural and historical tourism in the world and this unique network of heritage buildings is available for the sheer pleasure of the traveller. There are around 95 Paradores throughout Spain, many dating from the upper Middle Ages and others built more recently along modern architectural lines.   Ibertours is an Official Representative for the Paradores of Spain.
Below is a selection of some of these exceptional properties…

Parador de Alarcon
Parador de Alarcon
Alarcon, Spain

This castle of S. VIII, authentic medieval strength, is based in a meander of the Júcar river, on a promontory . The architecture of the Parador, which occupies the medieval castle of the Marquises of Villena, is the result of more than three centuries of history. Founded by the Muslims in the 8th century, it was captured by King Alfonso VIII in the 12th century. Inhabited by the notable man of literature Don Juan Manuel, it has been the scene of sieges and revolts. Regal oak wood and a mix of modern and classic have made this a new Parador, where the fabrics accentuate its medieval character. Has parking.
