There's still time to plan a route to a few of our Paradores in Galicia. Delight in landscapes where there is always something green, viewpoints overlooking the breaking waves of the Atlantic, fortresses that become cozy hideaways and seafood like no other in the world. Enjoy a Galician getaway and explore a land of legends, landscapes and the cuisine of both land and sea! 

1. Parador de Pontevedra

How does a night in a palace sound? At Paradores, our locations always have a story to tell, because these buildings have been around for centuries. This is definitely the case with the Parador de Pontevedra, a 16th-century Renaissance palace located in the old quarter of this historic city. If you visit during Holy Week, you'll find yourself very close to two of the most sought after sights by tourists travelling to Galicia: La Toja Island and Sanxenxo Beach.
