 King Alfonso XIII was the first to suggest that buildings of national heritage, that had been abandoned or needed restoration, be converted into luxury hotels. The first was inaugurated at Gredos in 1923. The initiative has continued and today there are 86 paradores throughout Spain.Old palaces, convents, monastries and medieval castles have been brought back to life with tapestries, carpets, tiles and paintings restored. Facilities which include swimming pools, tennis courts and conference rooms have been added. In some places with outstanding views but lacking an old castle to restore, new buildings have been erected.
The restaurants serve traditional dishes, typical desserts and local wines, as well as excellent quality international menus.
We feature the parador of Nerja in the district of Axarquía and others in nearby areas that a holiday maker or resident might want to visit.
