FORMER
HOSPITAL ON THE PILGRIMS' ROAD TO SANTIAGO
The
Parador occupies a 12th c. former hospital, next to the cathedral, built
by Saint Dominic to give shelter to the pilgrims on the Road to Santiago.
In a regal and elegant style, it has majestic living rooms and a lobby
with Gothic arches and wooden coffered ceilings.
Noble
materials and bright colours - blues and whites - lead to comfortable bedrooms,
decorated with exquisite taste; some have four poster beds. A warm, harmonious
and balanced environment, also suitable for social functions and meetings.
In
the restaurant, the Piquillo peppers are the best choice here, especially
if they are stuffed. The vegetable soup reminds us of the many orchards
in the region. Of course, everything accompanied by the superb Rioja wines.
