Description:
WALLED FORTRESS SURROUNDED BY THE SEA Occupying the Monterreal Peninsula, this is one of the most
extraordinary Paradores, half medieval fortress and half Galician stately
architecture. It rises up as an impressive viewpoint over the ocean, surrounded
by a walled enclosure, protected by the sea and flanked by a beautiful pine
wood. The Parador has regal and elegant common rooms in which decorative
elements from other times abound. Stately living rooms and spacious bedrooms,
many with views of the sea, make up a grandiose interior in which the splendid
stone staircase of the entrance hall stands out. The sea-bass with razor clams
in a sauce of turnip greens, seafood dishes, Santiago cake and 'filloas' (type
of crepe) make up the varied gastronomic showcase of this Parador.
