PARADOR DE ALCAÑIZ ★★★ Ref HSP003
Built on the hill top called the Cumbre de Cerro Pui-Pinos,
this 12th-13th century castle-convent became the seat of
the Order of Calatrava in 1179. Dominating the landscape of
the Maestrazgo, it conserves the keep, the bell tower-sacristy
and the part reconverted into an 18th c. Aragonese palace.
Gothic walls, plateresque tomb and baroque façade are
inserted into an interior with soft, red and green coloured
shades, adorned with Spanish wood in furniture and beams.
It also features a peaceful garden. A good number of trips
and activities related to adventure sports can be organized
from the Parador. The comforting Aragonese cooking allows
you to sample Alcañiz style eggs, ‘ternasco asado’ (roast
young lamb) and typical sweets: Alma and almond tarts.

PARADOR DE ARTÍES ★★★★ Ref HSP008
Located in the ‘Val dArán’, just 7 km from Baqueira, in an
area of the Catalan Pyrenees where the woods, the snowcapped
peaks in winter and the freshness of the green in

Parador, in the style of the local architecture, rises up in
the so-called House of D. Gaspar de Portolá, the discoverer
of California. It has attic bedrooms, wood-lined beams
and numerous conference rooms, among which the Salón
Chimenea stands out. The friendly common rooms invite you
to stay the night in an ideal setting for taking up outdoor
activities. The cooking is influenced by the specialities of the

recovered atmosphere which enriches all the common
rooms. Beautiful decorative elements, granite and abode
floors, bright colours and spacious bedrooms, some with
four-poster beds, make up a harmonious and bright whole.

coffered ceilings, wood and Castilian bricks. Its spectacular
living rooms are duly equipped to promote their functional

PARADOR DE CANGAS DE ONÍS ★★★★ Ref HSP018
Tradition has it that King Alfonso I ‘The Catholic’ constructed
this building on 21 February 746, and the excavations
carried out at the start of the refurbishing work to turn it
into a Parador de Turismo confirm this idea. The current
monastery was founded on this site and run by the Order
of San Benito until the Desamortización de 1835 (Largescale
selling of State and Church assets).Two rooms with
archeological remains, pottery in particular, uncovered
during the refurbishing work are testament to this distant
past. The monastery was declared a National Monument in
1907, and features an added wing of perfectly harmonious
architectural and constructional qualities: truly a jewel set on
the green banks of the River Sella, in whose waters the hotel
is reflected. In the background, guests can contemplate the
majestic landscape of the Picos de Europa. This Parador,
featuring comfortable and modern facilities, is the ideal
starting point from which
to discover the delights
of the Asturian landscape,
enjoy its typical festivals
and ancestral folklore
activities and sample the
best and most authentic
of its rich gastronomic
tradition.
