On a recent short driving holiday in Spain we stayed at Parador Alcaniz and some others. Our room was clean and comfortable with lovely views across the autumn countryside. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was fine. For those not accustomed to Spanish dining hours it was a bit disconcerting to have to ask for the restaurant to be opened at 8.30 in the evening, but then I guess thats all part of the holiday experience!! I/we would definitely recommend the Parador experience and want to return as soon as we can

Stunning location, well signposted.
Reception, service and (enormous) room great. Very quiet.
Food good and reasonably priced dinner (good, as hard to find places to eat elsewhere in town) .
If you like walking, ask at the tourist info for a map of the 20 signed walks in the Maestrazgo hills (about an hour’s drive south). We did two stunning walks (17 & part of 20) of about 6-8km each in late October. Saw lots of birds and some other wildlife but not a single human (walker of farmer) on each! The drives there and back were quiet and stunning too.

The parador is awesome and the dining room is like dining like royalty. We had veal which was good although we like it less rare, sea bass which was excellent, a sampler which was great fun. The only dish we did not care for was the cod as it was very rubbery, and not like the cod we get back home in Florida. The staff here were first rate and very friendly.

Staff at the desk was excellent and when we found we were by the lift and maid’s closet, they graciously changed us. We forgot to ask for a quiet room. Looking forward to breakfast and a tour of the rest of the parador. This is one of the nicest Paradores we have been in this trip.

As usual the parador was delightful and we found the menu excellent for us (1 strict vegetarian). The room and the breakfast were wonderful and the staff friendly. However we will not return as we like to try different paradors each year and the town only had a small area we thought of as interesting. One night is enough and then move on to the next parador.

A memorable stay. The bedroom was beautifully laid out and very roomy. The food was fresh and tasty and the views from the Parador at all angles were breathtaking. I would definitely recommend a stay.

On our trip from Barcelona to Nerja in may 2011 we stayed at the Parador of Alcañiz. The receptionist was extremely friendly, showing us around the place and telling us about it in Spanish and in English. The Parador is very beautiful, on the outside as well as on the inside. The room was very nice, clean, with good beds and a beautiful view from the tiny balcony. The restaurant was impressive and warm and the food was excellent. There was enough choice for the Parador menu and local dishes and the presentation of the dishes is worth taking a picture. Breakfast was a warm and cold buffet, with a wide choice of cheese, meats, eggs, bread and pastry and fruit.
The town can be visited by foot, which takes a few minutes (down that is).
We enjoyed our stay very much and we can certainly recommend this Parador.

We had a wonderful stay at the Parador in Alcaniz. Our room was lovely and looked out over the Cathedral and countryside. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and then were lucky enough to see one of the Semana Santa parades which lasted well into the night.

The tour of the Parador was very interesting although we couldn’t quite understand why they only allowed visitors in on the hour. There were so few of us visiting.

Everything was lovely and confirmed that we will seek out the Paradors in the future.

We have just returned to Australia after nearly one month in Spain.
With my wife and two daughters we stayed at Alcaniz for one night and were delighted by the lovely parador, excellent rooms, restaurant and the views. Subsequently on the same visit we stayed at ten other paradores, and the whole family were very impressed by the friendly staff, the excellent meals, and the general competent organisation we experienced throughout the entire holiday.
We will certainly be back in Spain next year to try the paradores in the northern provinces.
Thank you to all the staff for their attention and service.
