Booked this some time ago based on reputation and friends recommendation. This was a trip for 9 people to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday, so wanted to set up a few surprises in advance which Upon contacting the hotel I found out I could not do until booked it. I was now concerned! Anyway, the stay was great, the staff were great, the rooms were great, bar area and restaurant all great great!! Some aspects of the hotel felt like a museum, in a good wa! The stay has prompted me to look at other parador hotels across Spain for potential future trips.
