Description
LARGE HOUSE EMBRACED BY WILD VINES
This Parador is located in the illustrious town of
Villafranca del Bierzo, capital of a very beautiful region and former station on
the road to Santiago. Its architecture imitates the lines and forms of nearby,
closely-felt Galicia. The landscapes of the Ancares mountain range to the north
complement the beauty of the Parador´sgarden. Its interior is characterized by
traditional Castilian decoration in furniture in the entrance halls, chairs and
wrought iron lamps. The wooden floors in the bedrooms and elsewhere offer
elegance and comfort. The living room, one of the most pleasant spaces of the
Parador, is welcoming and comfortable. Trout with lard and peppers, `botillo`
(local sausage), pies and stewed veal Bierzo style are some of the dishes
offered by the spacious restaurant.
