Visiting Spain's Paradores

Spain reveres its old places, and for nearly a century the government has taken the steps to turn some of its more beautiful locations into paradores that is, old forts, convents, fortresses, and castles, that are now sumptuous and historic hotels.

These architectural beauties preserve the heritage and culture of Spain it's even official policy at the paradores to serve regional cuisine and they're scattered all over the country, from the Meditteranean to the Basque region.The name, too, is steeped in history: the word "parador" comes from the Arabic word waradah, or "halting place."
