Why stay here?
A regionally styled Parador above one of Aragón’s most evocative medieval towns, with pre-Pyrenean views and easy links into Navarra.
Why it stands out
The village itself is the monument, and the Parador gives you time to experience it after day visitors leave.
How long to stay
One night is enough for the town; two nights suit travelers adding Navarra, Leyre or the surrounding valleys.
Best route role
Use Sos as the medieval bridge between Navarra and Aragón.
A Parador designed to belong to medieval Sos
The Parador is not itself the town’s original castle or palace. Instead, it was designed in an Aragonese style that echoes the stone, timber and monumental character of Sos del Rey Católico.
That approach works because the real historic asset is the village around it, birthplace of Ferdinand II of Aragón and one of the best-preserved small towns in the region.
Medieval streets between Aragón and Navarra
Sos sits close to the Navarra border and within reach of Javier, Leyre and the Pyrenean foothills. It is a natural small-town stop between Olite and deeper Aragón.
More about the stay
With its Aragonese, style, the building preserves the monumental, historical and artistic character of Sos del Rey Católico. The village, declared Historical-Artistic Village, was the cradle of influencing nobles and the Catholic King.
In its surroundings, we may admire the Pre-Pyrenees of Aragón and Navarra. It is the right place to discover this medieval village and to visit spots of immense beauty.
The interior of the Parador, regal and elegant, offers views of the surrounding. Wood covers the interior columns and dominates in the furniture, of Castilian style. Space and light are common elements of the rooms, thanks to the large windows.
The restaurant offers tradition and authenticity; the aromas and flavours of the cuisine of the Cinco Villas Region – the region giving its name to the restaurant. Here, you cam enjoy the thistles from Muel with almonds and ham, "migas" (Breadcrumbs) with ham and "chorizo" sausage, "Ajorarriero-style" codfish, Aragonese lamb with P.D.O., cottage cheese cake and with honey of the region. A treat for the senses, to accompany with one of the wines of our cellar.
