Explore the sheer beauty of Catalonia and the Spanish Pyrenees, all whilst staying in remarkable Paradors – a truly divine holiday experience!
Your Luxuria
Signature Paradors:
You will stay for three nights at the Parador de Sos del Rey
Católico, set in the foothills of the Pyrenees near Zaragoza, before moving onto
the Parador de Cardona, located in a peaceful position above the town of
Cardona, for four nights. Overnight stays in France will be in city-style hotels.
Parador de Sos del
Rey Católico – This magnificent Parador is a former stately home set in the
perfectly preserved 10th century medieval town of Sos del Rey
Católico. Part of the Cinco Villas or “Five High Towns”, Sos del Rey Católico
was the birthplace of King Ferdinand II of Aragon (the “Catholic King”). The
Parador skilfully combines nods to its medieval past such as a coat of arms in
the communal area and elegant Castilian-style furniture, with more contemporary
features. Breathtaking views abound over the Aragonese landscape of foothills,
mountains and valleys and the outdoor terrace provides an exceptional spot from
which to enjoy the scenery.
Parador de Cardona
– The Parador de Cardona is a 14th century castle which perches high
above the town of Cardona, surrounded by 9th century fortified
walls. The Parador is steeped in history and atmosphere with its carefully
restored vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, archways and exposed stonework, whilst
the interior design incorporates magnificent Catalan-inspired medieval furniture,
drapes and tapestries. Striking colours are often used in the decoration of the
public areas, many of these being genuine colours of the original era of the
castle. Views from the battlements across the town, Cardener River and the
surrounding countryside are spectacular.
