Description:
16TH CENTURY RENAISSANCE PALACE This Parador rises up in the most Renaissance square of the
aristocratic and monumental town of Úbeda, next to some of the most beautiful
buildings, in a former palace built in the 16th century and altered in the 17th,
which belonged to the dean of the Sacred chapel of El Salvador. The façade of
the Parador conceals a very beautiful inner courtyard with a double gallery
whose upper part is glazed. Its friendly and comfortable bedrooms stand out for
the height of their ceilings. Worthy of note are the six which look onto the
square and the suite, located in the opposite corner, from which a wide
panoramic view of the Vázquez de Molina square can be enjoyed. Andalusian
details and dishes adorn the space occupied by the dining room, which offers
good peppers stuffed with partridge, bull´stail in red wine from La Loma and
stewed kid with pine nuts.
The island of the eternal spring, thanks to its unequalled climate, offers enormous contrasts and a wide variety of landscapes in its different areas...
