MEDIEVAL
CASTLE WITH TOWER AND ROMANESQUE CHURCH
The
Parador is located on a headland, in a fortified 9th c. enclosure in which
there is also the 2nd c. Minyona tower and an 11th c. church, representative
elements of the Catalan Romanesque of its surroundings.
Its
location offers an exceptional panoramic view of the town and of the fertile
lands bathed by the river Cardoner. Some bedrooms have the charm of four
poster beds. Moats, towers, walls and Gothic elements combine with a decoration
in which comfort and Catalan-inspired medieval furniture predominate.
In
the dining room, Catalan cuisine offers assortments of forest mushrooms
and a variety of sausages, not forgetting 'butifarra con mongetes' (sausage
with haricot beans).
