This was our first visit to a Parador. We stayed two nights and had an excellent experience. The standard room did not have a view, but was very comfortable and well equipped. The service at the reception, in the bar and in the restaurant was first class, and the meals were also excellent. We will certainly be visiting other Paradores.
