Parador
of Nerja, Nerja, Málaga
A
balcony overlooking the sea... The Parador is located on a cliff next to
the sea, in a setting suitable for enjoying the coast, the beautiful natural
spots of the area and the beach, which can be reached by means of an original
lift. The entrance to the building has a splendid garden whose greenness
contrasts with the blue of its swimming pool. The spacious and bright interior
enjoys maximum comfort and includes elegant decorative elements. The bedrooms
have spacious terraces with views of the sea. Do not miss the fried little
fishes in Nerja, without doubt the most important food at the Parador.
Other gastronomy suggestions are the 'maimones' (typical Andalusian soup
with olive oil), and roasted goat dressed with a very tasty sauce made
of almonds. |

Parador

In
the centre of the city, in a privileged location, next to the emblematic
Puente Nuevo in Ronda, built in the year 1761, this Parador rises up over
the former town hall. It is an impressive enclave, with unique views of
the Tagus, in a gorge some 120 metres deep. Blues, greens, yellows
and reds make up the shades of the interior. The most colourful materials
decorate the sofas and curtains of bright, spacious living rooms with an
abundance of plants. It has a swimming pool and cheerful bedrooms with
beautiful views and comfortable split-level suites with terraces.
The gastronomic side of the Parador includes excellent Andalusian style
dishes such as stewed partridge, roast kid, rabbit 'a la rondeña',
almond soup, 'ajo blanco' (cold garlic soup) and 'salmorejo'. The most
noteworthy desserts are 'Yemas rondeñas' (sweet egg yolk flans),
'tortitas de miel' (cake with honey) and 'queso de almendras' (almond cheese). |

Parador
of Carmona, Seville
The
fertile plain of the river Corbones offers an outstanding panoramic view
of this fortress, to which different civilizations have brought the best
of their artistic culture. The splendid views are still protagonists from
its extraordinary swimming pool, landscaped areas, courtyard and Mudejar
fountain, Cupulín function room and terrace. The bedrooms are spacious,
bright, and in exquisite taste thanks to the classical decoration which,
along with the Sevillian tiles, enhances the value of this 14th c. fortress.
The Bermejo function room stands out, with its rugs and numerous antiques.
The refectory, fitted out as a dining room and recognized as one of the
most beautiful of the Paradors, presents delicious seasonal and local dishes.
Among them, we recommend you the 'cartuja' (stuffed pie) of partridge,
of codfish, the spicy spinaches of Carmona, 'ardoria' (kind of fish) and
'boronía'. You choose the dessert out of a rich dinner buffet. |
