The Paradores
of Spanish North Africa
|
Parador
de Ceuta, Ceuta, North Africa
The Parador occupies a modern
building backing on to the ancient Royal Walls, in the Plaza de Nuestra
Señora de África, the nerve centre of Ceuta. Its position
offers a magnificent panoramic view of the sea, the historical centre of
the city and even the coast of the Iberian peninsula. An impregnable fortress
for centuries, the vaults of the former Artillery Stores were constructed
on the city walls and are now fitted out as suites. The bedrooms look over
a garden filled with palm trees, with a well cared-for swimming pool and
exceptional views of the sea. Inside, representative elements of numerous
civilizations are conserved, with the Arabic influence predominating. The
furniture offers a classical and at the same time modern touch, and the
dining room, decorated with abundant plants, offers Arabic and Andalusian
flavors in fish and meats in sauces or with spices. |

Parador
de Melilla, Melilla - North Africa
This Parador is located
on a hill, from which the walled town and the extensive beaches surrounding
it can be seen. Rising up over a small valley in the upper part of the
Lobera park, this building, bathed in the North African sun, enjoys a quiet
position thanks to its private garden and refreshing swimming pool. Comfortable
facilities share elegance and simplicity in the decoration of the bedrooms,
with attractive panoramic views from their terraces. The culinary display,
with a clear Andalusian inspiration, is rich in shellfish and fish. The
'rape Estopiñán' (anglerfish) and fried vegetable salad with
Melilla salted fish stand out. |
