The magic of the sunny weather gives us the perfect excuse to immerse ourselves in the tapas culture and delve even deeper into the excellence of Spanish gastronomy. At Paradores, this ritual comes to life in a special way, highlighting good taste in every detail. Our terraces offer a memorable experience.

Ten kilometers from the impressive set of cliffs that adorn the famous beach of Las Catedrales in Galicia, is the Parador de Ribadeo. It has a spectacular terrace that not only reflects the rich seafaring tradition of the town in its decoration, but also offers stunning views of the Ribadeo estuary, part of the Biosphere Reserve of the river Eo, Oscos and Tierras de Burón. In addition, its frontier position allows you to contemplate the charming Asturian villages that border the region and the lush green landscape characteristic of the Cantabrian coast. With this incomparable backdrop, dishes such as the exquisite Galician empanadas, lacón (pork shoulder) and the comforting rice with lobster are enjoyed in a special way.

The Hostería del Estudiante, in Madrid's Parador de Alcalá de Henares, is the best place to travel back in time. The establishment is originally from the sixteenth century, wrapped by huge wooden beams, stone walls, a fireplace where people used to cook five centuries ago and period coppers that dress the space. Illustrious figures such as  Federico García Lorca have passed through this little corner to taste its tasty migas with chocolate. Nowadays, its menu includes a gastronomic banquet full of proposals with their own identity, such as the quixotic duelos y quebrantos with sweetbreads and crispy fried fried rashers, the tiznao in cod taco, the sopa boba alcalaína or the Cervantine stew, “Olla Podrida”, accompanied by beans and various meat products. After this tribute, how about stopping by the Renaissance courtyard of Los Caballos and enjoying a coffee with something sweet in a beautiful and historic corner?

If you are a fan of good weather and tapas, the refreshing terrace of the Jardín de la Arruzafa at the Parador de Córdoba awaits you.

These delicacies make this space the perfect place to share unforgettable moments. Can you imagine disconnecting here surrounded by the lush vegetation and palm trees of the environment? In addition, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, you can enjoy live music with the elegant sound of the piano, an experience you won't want to miss!

Can you imagine starting the day having breakfast with unbeatable views of the monumental city of Segovia? If there is one thing the terrace of the Segovian Parador boasts is the best panoramic views, since from there you can see the aqueduct, the Alcazar and its famous cathedral. But apart from being a seductive scenery for the eyes, it is also an excellent ambassador of the Castilian cuisine. On the table you can not miss the appetizing suckling pig of the region or the suckling lamb, accompanied by a good wine D.O. Ribera del Duero; or maybe you prefer to savor a succulent cod Carrascal del Rio style, and then culminate the experience with the emblematic dessert of egg yolk and marzipan punch.

From the terrace of the Parador de Cervera de Pisuerga, a postcard of astonishing beauty unfolds, with the Ruesga reservoir at our feet and the highest peaks of the Montaña Palentina as a backdrop. This breathtaking scenery can be enjoyed with a selection of local cheeses, a succulent menestra, the traditionally roasted churro, or some irresistible Castilian torreznos (bacon). In this haven of peace, located 1,100 meters above sea level and surrounded by the Natural Park of Fuentes Carrionas and Fuente Cobre, nature resounds like a relaxing melody. The enchanting scenery contemplated here deserves to be explored up close, and what better way to do so than through the 'forest baths', an experience that our Nature for the Senses program proposes so that you can make the most of this wonderful environment.

The Parador de Cruz de Tejeda is a perfect refuge to find peace and tranquility. Its landscape is dominated by what the writer Miguel de Unamuno called the 'petrified tempest': the impressive volcanic caldera of Tejeda, with the imposing Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga emerging. Lunch on the terrace of the Parador is equivalent to 'eating among the clouds', as it is located at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters above sea level. From here, you can see the Teide, the mysterious island of La Gomera and, if you are lucky, the silhouette of the island of El Hierro. In addition, you can witness spectacular sunsets and sunrises tinged with reds, purples or blues. The gastronomy, the undisputed protagonist, offers authentic delicacies such as escaldón de gofio, the comforting watercress stew and the exquisite bienmesabe, a traditional Canarian dessert that will delight your palate with its unique flavor.

We cannot overlook the privilege of enjoying a terrace in an ancient medieval castle, and the Parador de Oropesa, in Toledo, offers just that. This enclave, which in the past housed soldiers, religious and aristocrats, has now been transformed into a historic space full of charm. Among medieval arches and feudal details, with splendid views of the Sierra de Gredos, you will be transported to the time of the Castilian nobles. The croquettes of Iberian ham and sheep's milk from Oropesa, as well as the Oropesa-style shot partridge, are two perfect options to recharge your batteries and undertake cultural routes such as La Vera, La Cerámica, El Bordado or El Valle del Tiétar.
