MONASTERY OF SAN PEDRO DE VILLANUEVA (12th CENTURY TO 18th CENTURY)
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 (Large-scale selling of State
and Church assets).Two rooms with archeological remains, pottery in particular,
uncovered during the refurbishing work are testament to this distant past. The
monastery was declared a National Monument in 1907, and features an added wing
of perfectly harmonious architectural and constructional qualities: truly a
jewel set on the green banks of the River Sella, in whose waters the hotel is
reflected. In the background, guests can contemplate the majestic landscape of
the Picos de Europa. 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.

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...
