What are Spanish Paradores?

The Paradores in Spain are a chain of state owned luxury hotels, the buildings of which usually have historic importance. Consequently, the Spanish parador will most often be an old palace, monastery, castle or fortress. Some of the more recent additions to Spain’s Parador hotel chain are generally located in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Parador Hotels are located throughout mainland Spain in all regions. However, Spanish Paradores not just based on the mainland as they are also found in the  Canary Islands and the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa. Guests staying in Spain’s Parador hotels will receive a very high standard of service for a relatively low price.

How Did Spain’s Parador Hotels Come To Be?

In 1910 the Spanish government initiated a project to create a hotel infrastructure for foreign visitors to Spain. This was largely planned to help improve and preserve historic buildings but was also designed to enhance Spain’s image in the outside world. However it wasn’t until 1928 that the first Spanish Parador was completed in the Gredos Mountains. The location of the Parador de Gredos was chosen by King Alfonso XIII due to its breathtaking scenery.

Once the first Parador in Spain had been established a body was formed to manage further Parador building projects: the Board of Paradores and Inns of the Kingdom (la Junta de Paradores y Hosterías del Reino) was tasked with restoring historical monuments and creating new buildings in scenically beautiful locations to this end.

There are around 89 Paradors in Spain today offering luxury board to guests and high quality to residents and non-residents alike. In fact the dining areas of most Spanish Paradors are considered to be high quality restaurants in their own right, award winning chefs and highly skilled and experienced assistants.
