15TH
CENTURY MEDIEVAL CASTLE
The
Parador occupies one of the wings of the majestic 15th C. palace-castle,
declared a National Monument, on which the towers and battlements stand
out. In keeping with its medieval setting, it rises up on solid stone walls
and offers a glimpse of the numerous historical adventures it lived through
in other times, such as the holding of parliament under the government
of the Noble King.
The
medieval spirit is maintained on the inside, with very beautiful stained
glass windows on the staircase and in the dining room, arcades and ornamental
details such as armour, rugs, wrought iron lamps and wooden coffered ceilings.
The
Parador restaurant will offer you the delicious taste of the products from
Navarre. The menu includes, among other dishes, fresh asparagus and piquillo
peppers. You will eat like a king.
