16th Century Palace
In the historic quarter of
the sizeable town of Ávila, this Parador is installed within the
former "Piedras Albas" Palace, backing onto the impressive city walls.
In keeping with its surroundings,
the hotel's interior has a warm and intimate feel creating a very refreshing
atmosphere, enriching your time spent there. Its beautiful decorative features
include granite and adobe floors, bright colours and spacious rooms, some
with four poster beds. These features all combine to create a light feel
to the rooms. |

The Parador also features
a garden containing archaeological remains, a magnificent glass-roofed
courtyard, partitionable function rooms and a cafeteria.
The hotel's restaurant provides
a beautiful view over the gardens and the city walls. Here you can sample
the 'pucheretes teresianos' (vegetable and pork stew), roast suckling pig,
veal chops, Judías de El Barco (local bean dish) and the excellent
yemas de la Santa (delicious dessert made from egg yolks).
