Paradors are a great option when looking to travel around Andalucia, with some fabulous historical hotels and more modern-style ones too. If you’re heading to the famous cities of Cordoba, Granada and Sevilla for example you’ll find a modern sprawling hotel on the outskirts of Cordoba, an old convent in the grounds of The Alhambra in Granada and a fabulous Moorish castle overlooking the flat plains in Carmona, Sevilla.

Parador Tour in Natural Parks and on the Beach

If National Parks or beaches or more your style then try the Hotel Parador de Cazorla in Spain’s largest National Park in Jaen province or the Parador de Ronda on the famous Tajo Gorge. The modern Parador de Mojacar is right across from the beach as is the Parador de Nerja which is on the famous Balcon de Europa.

There is plenty of choice and designs as there are locations, historical and contemporary but the standards don’t vary.
