PARADOR DE CHINCHÓN

Avda. Generalísimo, 1. 28370. Chinchón, Madrid
Parador de Chinchón, Chinchón, Madrid, Spain
17TH CENTURY AUGUSTINIAN CONVENT

Founded by the Lords of Chinchón in the 17th c., this former Augustinian convent protects its monumental heritage in that of the old quarter of Chinchón, with its emblematic Plaza Mayor. In this framework, the cypress trees, roses and privets of the garden offer a beautiful picture, with the addition of a splendid cloister and softened by the blue of its swimming pool. 

Staircase / Escalera
Garden / Jardin
Cloisters / Claustro del Convento

Walls with a Renaissance stamp, large windows and vaults, classical and Castilian style furniture, and its pleasant, spacious bedrooms make up the inner space, which is characterized by an atmosphere of peace and quiet.

Visit either of the Parador's two restaurants: 'El Convento' and 'El Bodegón'. 

El Convento offers exquisite creations based on traditional cooking, with a personal touch. We recommend the Tasting Menu and dishes prepared using quality products from the Chinchón river valley. 

El Bodegón, open weekends and holidays, offers theme-based cuisine, with two tempting types of seasonal fare: El Cocido completo de Taba (Taba chickpea and sausage stew served in two courses) based on an original recipe from the late 19th century, and La Cocina de la Vega, which features dishes prepared according to traditional, age-old recipes from the Chinchón river valley."
