PARADOR DE BENAVENTE ★★★★ Ref HSP012
The seat of parliament in 1202, this Renaissance style castle
was built by order of Fernando II de León and forms part
of the former walled enclosure of the town. Practically
razed to the ground in 1808 during the Peninsular War, it
conserves the monumental Torre del Caracol, where there
is a living room with an admirable Mudejar coffered ceiling.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the interior contains
classical decorative elements such as rugs, forged lamps,
coffered ceilings, wood and Castilian bricks. Its spectacular
living rooms are duly equipped to promote their functional
value as spaces for social gatherings. The dreamy bedrooms
are comfortable, and the restaurant offers the region’s
gastronomic array: ‘arroz a la zamorana’ (Zamora-style rice),
‘dos y pingada’ (fried dish) and the sweet ‘rebojo zamorano’.
