Parador
de Zafra, Zafra, Badajoz
The Hotel "Duque de Feria"
in Zafra occupies a majestic castle which was begun in 1437 as the residence
of the Dukes of Feria, one of Spain’s great families. The spectacular
façade expresses the importance of this castle-palace, which is
the ideal base for exploring the architectural heritage and the natural
beauties of the area. Nine towers with battlements stand guard over
a regal, grandiose interior which conserves beautiful coffered ceilings,
trunks, ironwork, balustrades and other decorative details from the former
palace. The bedrooms, which still have their ducal coffered ceilings
and decorative details, are lordly, elegant and spacious. The swimming
pool and well-tended garden are also worth a mention. The best local dishes
are offered in the dining room of the Parador de Zafra, such as caldereta
de cordero (lamb stew), migas extremeñas (breadcrumbs), bacalao
monacal (cod), zorongollo (tomato salad), cheesecake from La Serena, Iberian
