Parador Vilalba
This impressive tower from medieval Galicia, now converted into a Parador, dominates the landscape of this town, centre of the “Terra Cha” area, which originated from this fortress, 
home of the Andrades, the counts of Vilalba.
The hotel offers cosy, welcoming spaces with a medieval air; in the tower, 6 bedrooms share this medieval style with the Salon de los Andrade, with frescos and coats of arms.
In the shadow of the tower, the new stone building is in the style of a pazo, the Galician country house, housing the remaining 42 bedrooms, the restaurant and bar.
We used the Parador Vilalba as an overnight stop when travelling between Portugal and Santander. The Reception Staff were very welcoming and offered us a room in the Tower, which we declined. The standard rooms are typically Parador, the view was not particularly good but it did overlook the little square in front of the Church in the old Quarter of the town.
In the restaurant we had the traditional local menu which was very tasty and well presented. Generally the staff were very helpful.
