Vacationing on the shores of the Mediterranean, in the lovely city of Jávea on the northern Costa Blanca.
The Sierra de Gredos has housed this stone building since 1928, the first Parador, surrounded by crystalline waters, rough rocks and green pine forests. The location in Alto del Risquillo is a privileged vantage point over the Valle del Tormes, the Gredos massif and the Piedrahita and Béjar sierras, making it a real excursion centre.
The hotel’s tough stone walls hide an interior with standout comfortable rooms, some with terrace. Classical wood reigns in the dining room, library and lounges. The presence of granite columns and the furnishing provide the space with a traditional Castilian style. The quality of the meat and local vegetables and pulses – such as the famed Barco beans – make for a rich cuisine of roasts and comfort soups and stews.
