CASTLE OF THE ORDER OF CALATRAVA
Built on the hill top called the Cumbre de Cerro Pui-Pinos,
this 12th-13th century castle-convent became the seat of the Order of Calatrava
in 1179. Dominating the landscape of the Maestrazgo, it conserves the keep, the
bell tower-sacristy and the part reconverted into an 18th c. Aragonese palace.
Gothic walls, plateresque tomb and baroque façade are inserted into an interior
with soft, red and green coloured shades, adorned with Spanish wood in furniture
and beams. It also features a peaceful garden. A good number of trips and
activities related to adventure sports can be organized from the Parador. The
comforting Aragonese cooking allows you to sample Alcañiz style eggs, 'ternasco
asado' (roast young lamb) and typical sweets: Alma and almond tarts.

Occupying the Monterreal Peninsula, this is one of the most extraordinary Paradores, half medieval fortress and half Galician stately architecture...

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
