The Best Paradores in Spain

The Paradores of Spain are totally individual places to stay so choosing the best Paradores is not only subjective but also very difficult. So you may well have stayed at a fantastic Parador that isn’t on this list but in our opinion these are the best Paradores Spain has to offer.

We haven’t just selected them on their star rating (although most are at least a 4 star) but also for their location, historical interest or facilities.
