A guide to Spain’s Paradores

Paradores are distinctive places to stay in settings that tell a story about Spain: castles, former monasteries, historic palaces and buildings shaped by the surrounding landscape. Some are in the center of old towns; others sit above coastlines, valleys or countryside. Choosing one is as much about the place you want to experience as the room itself.

Paradores Atlas is an independent travel guide, not the official Paradores website. Use the interactive map above to compare locations, or start with the guides below to choose a region, find a particular Parador and connect stays into a journey.

FOLLOW THE GEOGRAPHY

Explore Paradores by region

All regions

The most useful starting point is often a region rather than a single Parador. A journey through Andalusia has a different pace and architectural character from a coastal stay in Galicia or a castle route through Castile and León.
