Parador de Santo Domingo Bernardo de Fresneda

Convent of San Francisco
Under the modern cupola which covers the novices patio, we may find the "Recreo" Restaurant, whose name refers to the break the monks used to take in that same patio. This new gastronomical offer is based on La Rioja´swonderful products, which are prepared in a simple way. The menu abounds with tapas and sampler dishes for sharing. The décor and the waiters` outfits are in unison with the restaurant´smodern features and the wine list offers the most innovative products of the region´scellars.

The Parador is sited in the Convent of San Francisco, 800 meters from the historic center of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The convent was rebuilt in 1595 by Juan Herrera, and is composed of three clearly differentiated seccions: Church, Museum-WorkShop and Guest House. Once restored, the later will be converted into a Parador. Its location on the "Way of Saint James" pilgrimage route, its design, and its unmistakable cultural value make it the ideal place for rural tourism, nature walks, or to enjoy a northern winter at its best.
