The top six terraces for enjoying spring at Paradores
22 de June 2023

Spring is here, bringing good weather and an irresistible desire to travel. Can you imagine yourself enjoying an aperitif on the terrace of a castle, or reading a book while sipping a coffee with the sound of the waves in the background? At Paradores we offer you unique terraces where you can enjoy spring to the full. Get away for a few days and take the opportunity to disconnect and recharge your batteries before summer arrives.

 

Parador de Aiguablava

 

  • Parador de Aiguablava

The Parador de Aiguablava is the perfect place to rest your body and mind. Imagine enjoying yourself on a terrace with unbeatable views of the Costa Brava, at the top of the Punta d'esMuts cliff. This privileged spot in the Mediterranean is surrounded by pine trees and boasts an almost unspoilt natural environment.
 

On the horizon, spectacular views and, at the table, the best examples of Catalan cuisine prepared using local products. Try the "coca de escalivada" with anchovies from l'Escala or the Catalan salad with Girona sausages.

 

Parador de Jarandilla de la Vera

 

  • Parador de Jarandilla de la Vera

Can you imagine sitting down to read a book on the terrace of a castle where Charles V stayed? The parade ground, the towers and the enormous stone walls of the castle of the Counts of Oropesa will take you back to another era while you enjoy some "patatas revolconas" (mashed potatoes) with bacon or a salad of "zorongollo" (salad) and "ventresca" (pork belly tuna).


Jarandilla de la Vera, one of the most picturesque villages in the region, is located among mountain ranges and gorges, in a privileged natural setting. You can enjoy almost fifty natural gorges that turn this region into an orchard.

 

Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide

 

  • Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide

A unique terrace at the foot of Mount Teide. The Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide is in a unique location and has the best views of the summit of the volcano. Here you can enjoy typical Canary Island dishes while admiring the panoramic view of this lunar landscape. “Papas arrugadas con mojos” (potatoes with spicy sauce) or a cheese platter from the islands to recharge your batteries after an excursion is the best plan in this special place on the island.
 

After indulging yourself with the best cuisine from the Canary Islands, relax in the indoor swimming pool of the Parador or enjoy a good read in front of the fireplace.

 

Parador de Granada

 

  • Parador de Granada

Spend a night in the Alhambra and relax on its terrace overlooking the Generalife. What more could you ask for? If you add dishes such as Pajina beef jerky 100% native breed with salmorejo and toast, the plan is unbeatable. And do not miss the chicken breua with sultanas and walnuts on cinnamon apple compote. These flavours, combined with the smell of the flowers in the Alhambra gardens and the sound of the water from the fountains, will make for a unique experience.


The Parador de Granada is a former convent that was built over a Nasrid palace on the orders of the Catholic Monarchs. Remains such as the Al Qubba and the Nasrid Hall are still preserved.

 

Parador de Oropesa

 

  • Parador de Oropesa

Sample the best of La Mancha cuisine seated among medieval arches and with views of the Sierra de Gredos. The croquettes of Iberian ham and Oropesa sheep's milk or the Oropesa-style game partridge are two perfect choices to order on the terrace while you enjoy the panoramic views of La Mancha plain.


The Parador de Oropesa is located in a medieval castle that served as a refuge for soldiers, monks and nobles and has now become a haven of peace and disconnection. The medieval town is full of convents, churches and palaces. 

 

Parador Costa da Morte

  • Parador Costa da Morte

Sip a cool Ribeiro while enjoying the views of the Atlantic and Lourido beach. The recently opened Parador Costa da Morte combines 21st century architecture with the legends of the area, the history of the Camino de Santiago, the essence of Galicia and the confidence of the Paradores brand.


On the terrace you can enjoy the best Galician cuisine and traditional recipes made with local products.
