IN THE HEART OF THE RIBEIRA SACRA
The
new Parador is housed in the Santo Estevo de Rivas de Sil monastery, in Nogueira
de Ramuín (Ourense). It is located in a region populary know as the birthplace
of the 'afiladores y paraguerios' (knife sharpeners and umbrella holders) and is
one of the towns in Ourense in which the topography and the confluence of the
rivers Miño an Sil create spectacular spaces that are worth visiting. The
Monastery is one of Galicia's oldest, founded in the 6th century a.c.e. The
original construction is Romanesque, though does show Gothic tendencies. Worth
nothing are its 18th century baroque facade, its monumental staircase and its
three cloisters: 'De la portería', 'De la Cocina', and 'De los Obispos'. The
latter is the only cloister in Galicia, together with the cathedral in Tui,
whose original construction has been preserved intact.

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...
