15 cities in Spain hold World Heritage status and all of them deserve a visit. UNESCO has recognised these cities as places that care for and maintain their cultural heritage and implement conservation plans.

Of the 15 World Heritage Cities in Spain, 11 have a Parador; one of our charming hotels from which you can discover unique places and destinations where heritage and culture take priority. 

You live in a spectacular spot, a group of islands where summer reigns virtually all year round, a place that is the envy of the entire world, a travel destination sought after by thousands of tourists during the summer months. Why not take advantage of the situation and plan a getaway to one of our hotels on the islands you call home?

We offer 5 Paradores to discover all the beauty of the Canary Islands.

Parador de Cruz de Tejeda (Las Palmas) 

An ornithological paradise, home to hundreds of birds and a refuge for endangered species. Extremadura is one of the regions within Europe that gives the most protection to birds. It has 69 protected enclaves to observe birds in total freedom.

Eager to mix nature, culture and sport during your upcoming holiday in Spain? One way to do so is by hopping on a mountain bike and taking in part the legendary Transpirinaica -or Trans Pyrenees- route, which spans the north of the country from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea.

Staggering volcanic scenery, breathtaking skylines and over 100 protected nature reserves await you in the Canary Islands, a constellation of seven Atlantic havens separated by just 230 kilometres. Each featuring relaxing swimming pools and authentic restaurants serving Canary specials like papas arrugadas (steamed potatoes) and rabbit stews, our five fabulous luxury hotels are the ideal retreats from which to discover these tropical paradises.

 If you've got a plan, Paradores has got a terrace for you. June is the month of these spaces where friendships are forged, the first coffee of the day is drunk, the last drink at night... where great stories start, small things are enjoyed and summer time. The privileged sites where Paradores are located: medieval fortresses, the beachfront, parks, palaces, convents... all offer spectacular terraces in summer. Exclusive outdoor areas for which an intense programme of activities has been designed. 

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!

You are now planning your holidays but you can´t decide if you want a beach or a mountain destination? Don't worry, we have the solution for you. At the Parador de Jávea, you can enjoy both. This Parador is located right in the coast of Jávea in the province of Alicante, and it´s location in the first line of the beach allows you to enjoy the salty sea and the fine sand, and also to visit the Montgó Nature Reserve, which is located only 10km away from our Parador de Jávea.

Breeze, sea, sun, beach and golf clubs. A perfect cocktail to make your holiday an almost sublime combination. White sands ooze the fresh scent of the Mediterranean at Málaga Golf or unique enclaves. Between La Albufera and the sea, in El Saler, Valencia, perfect landscapes that are home to some of the best greens in the world.

If you are planning a trip to the north, include Gijón on your list of places to visit. This maritime city on the coast of Asturias holds some beautiful corners, buildings full of history and astonishing views.

One of the places you shouldn't miss is the Laboral City of Culture: stand on the centre, turn 360º and you will notice the magnitude of this architectural complex. Impressive.
