Mountain Retreats in Spain
Spain is a holiday destination which attracts a tremendous amount of travellers over the summer months, spring time and the autumn season. From the Pyrenees to the Canary Islands, the country is home to a wide range of mountainous areas which can be considered as the perfect spot for a cosy retreat. Some Paradors in these areas are designed as mountain lodges and provide visitors with the opportunity to see and experience Spain differently. Plenty of activities are available at these Paradors, ranging from hiking to bird watching through to mountain climbing. So think of Spain for your next summer or autumn break, and treat yourself to an invariably magical stay.
Fuente Dé
The stunning location of this Parador makes it a preferred choice for anyone who wishes to enjoy Spain’s natural wonders. Situated in the heart of the Picos de Europa National Park, the Parador de Fuente Dé is surrounded by magnificent forests, mountain slopes and rocky peaks soaring towards the sky. Views onto these exceptional surroundings are available either from the Parador’s bedrooms or restaurant. There could hardly be a more relaxing experience than having breakfast while facing the beauty of the Picos de Europa. If you are looking for the perfect picture to take of this exceptional scenery, the Parador is located right at the foot of a cable car leading up to several stunning viewpoints. The walk back down from these viewpoints is not physically challenging, and allows you to make the most of the forests’ beauty.
Bielsa
Like Fuente Dé, Parador de Bielsa is located within a spectacular National Park – Ordesa. The Park is home to some of the most impressive peaks in the Pyrenees, such as Monte Perdido which has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. It is under its slopes that the Parador de Bielsa has been established, and provides visitors with lovely views over the Pyrenean mountain range as well as with great walking routes. While the Parador’s location is immersing travellers in nature, its interior design enables them to enjoy the cosiness and comfort of a traditional mountain lodge. The Parador’s proximity to France also makes it an ideal location for skiing opportunities in winter, with a number of ski resorts less than an hour’s drive away across the border.
Cruz de Tejeda
The Parador de Cruz de Tejeda, on Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, is surprisingly well-suited for mountain-loving travellers. Rising at 1,560 metres above the sea level, the Parador offers unrestricted views onto the forests and mountainous scenery within which it is encapsulated. The hotel’s style can be described as modern, yet retaining some of the traditional features of Canarian architecture. Visitors can thus enjoy a peaceful retreat in the both cosy and lavish environment of the Parador, which is also equipped with state-of-the-art spa facilities including the outdoor infinity pool, perched above a luxuriant pine forest.
Gredos
Famously known for being the first Parador to open in 1928, the Parador de Gredos deserves a place among the best ones to visit during the summer, spring and autumn seasons. The hotel was formerly used as a royal hunting lodge, and has kept its atmosphere of comfortable refuge thanks to, for instance, the great fireplaces warming up the common areas. The Parador’s location, at the heart of the Sierra Gredos mountain range, invites guests to long walks throughout the surrounding forests, meadows and picturesque hills. Hiking and fishing are only some of the outdoor activities to do at the Parador de Gredos, which possesses so much charm as to transform your stay into an incredibly soothing experience.
The numerous mountainous areas dispersed throughout Spain welcome visitors all-year round, and their enchanting atmosphere constantly charms guests. If you think of taking a break from it all over the next few months, we invite you to consider Spain and its superb Paradors, some of which are undoubtedly made for relaxing, homely-feeling retreats. The Paradors de Vielha, Artíes, Canadas del Teide and Cazorla could be further added on to the list of Spain’s best summer, spring and autumn destinations, which proves that the country has plenty to offer at any time of the year.
