Parador
de Cangas de Onis
Tradition has it that King
Alfonso I 'The Catholic' constructed this building on 21 February 746,
and the excavations carried out at the start of the refurbishing work to
turn it into a Parador de Turismo confirm this idea. The current monastery
was founded on this site and run by the Order of San Benito until the Desamortización
de 1835 and was declared a National Monument in 1907: truly a jewel set
on the green banks of the River Sella, in whose waters the hotel is reflected.
This Parador, featuring comfortable and modern facilities, is the ideal
starting point from which to discover the delights of the Asturian landscape,
enjoy its typical festivals and ancestral folklore activities and sample
the best and most authentic of its rich gastronomic tradition. |

Parador
de Gijon, Gijon
The Parador occupies hundred-year-old
mill, located in the Isabel La Católica Park, one of the most beautiful
spots in the town of Gijón. It has a beautiful pond, which offers
great harmony and tranquility. The closeness of San Lorenzo beach and of
the Cimadevilla sailors' quarter, convert it into an ideal place to enjoy
unforgettable days. It has a spacious, friendly and bright interior which
recreates the warmth of the setting in bedrooms and common rooms, while
the closeness of the sea can be felt from their windows. |
