This town has been related to the "Camino de Santiago", the route to St. James, since the 11th century, Calzada meaning pathway or trail.

The town was named after a priest who dedicated his life to help and assist the pilgrims travelling to and from Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. His burial place became a centre of devotion and pilgrimage and through the centuries there have been many reports of miracles happening near his tomb.

In the town's cathedral there are some paintings illustrating the saint's miracles.

Santo Domingo de La Calzada is located in a vast plain, near the river Oja, which gives the name to the region and near the mountain "Sierra de la Demanda".

The Parador is sited on the Convent of San Francisco, just a few hundred meters from the historic center of Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
The convent was rebuilt in 1595 by Juan Herrera and is composed of three different sections, the church, museum-workshop and guest house.
Now restored, the convent became an addition to the Parador group. Its location, design and historic significance make it an ideal and interesting place to stay.

The parador has restaurant, bar, heating and air conditioning in rooms and dining room, currency exchange, lift, telephone, mini bar in the rooms, conference room, satellite television, car park (without security and limited places) and facilities for the disabled.

This was our second Parador stay during our short driving holiday in Spain. The weather was rather cold and grey (just what we came to Spain for !!!) but the welcome was warm and the hotel was comfortable clean and up to the standard we were anticipating. I Can't comment on the dinner as we ate out but the breakfast was excellent. Because of the weather we did not see the town in the best light but I would certainly use the Parador again

We stayed only one night (with another couple) as we were touring Spain and wanted to experience a Parador. We were not sorry we stayed here as the surrounding, staff and room were all excellent. We recommend staying here for anyone who desires a good experience.
