STONE
CONSTRUCTION IN THE HEART OF THE GREDOS MOUNTAINS
The
Gredos mountain range has given refuge to this stone building, the first
of the Paradores, since 1928, among crystalline waters, wild rocks and
green pine groves. Its location, on El Alto del Risquillo, is a privileged
viewpoint over the Tormes valley, the Gredos massif and the Piedrahita
and Béjar mountain ranges, becoming a centre for excursions.
Its
sturdy stone walls conceal an interior in which the comfortable bedrooms
stand out, some with terraces. The classicism of the wood prevails in the
dining room, library and living rooms. The presence of granite columns
and the furniture offer the whole a traditional Castilian style.
The
quality of the meats and local vegetables, such as the famous 'Judías
del Barco' (beans) supply a cuisine rich in roasts and comforting soups
and stews.
