Saludos desde California! You have just made the most informative video about paradores in recent history on RUclips (trust me, I have been searching). Thank you, thank you, thank you! The obvious care and research you put into all your content is spectacularly interesting and informative. I will be utilizing this and more of your wonderful videos in planning my family’s first visit to your beautiful country next summer! Mil gracias, Tony! ❤
¡Hola! Many many thanks for your kind words, delighted to hear you found our video informative - that's what this channel is about, being helpful and informative. Un saludo muy cordial.
Thank you so much for this video! I came for driving tips before a large drive around Spain and my partner and I ended up staying at Parador de Lerma, Hondarribia, and Oropesa and had a lovely time at each. We would have missed these real gems without having stumbled across your videos and can not say thank you enough!
I have many memorable experiences of staying in paradores over the years. My favorites have been the paradores of Toledo, with its magnificent views, Guadalupe, Siguenza, Ronda (right on the cliffs!) and Carmona, a rehabilitated Arabic fortress with sweeping views of the Andalusian countryside.
Saludos Tony, Hope you are extremely well. I have returned from my sabbatical throughout Spain y Morocco and I want to type how much I enjoyed your videos and the tips you recommended for Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga y Sevilla were spot on! Much respect for your production and keep up the tremendous effort, Vale (heard that alot) Feliz navidad y prospero año nuevo para usted y su familia.
We're planning a big trip to Spain in May 2024. We looked at staying at the Parador in Granada, but it's extremely expensive. The ones in Toledo and Cordoba look like they are out of town or away from the main attractions. We're trying to decide about whether to spend 4 nights in Madrid and 3 nights in San Sebastian (Probably 2 full days), or 3 nights in Madrid and 4 nights in San Sebastian (3 full days there).
We are traveling from Madrid to Siguenza in October 2024. Trying to use the train but the schedules do not seem convenient. We land in Madrid at 6 a.m. and wanted to take the train to Siguenza as soon as possible since we have been to Madrid before. Help? Gracias.
This summer of 2024 we will stay in the paradores of Lerma, Salamanca, Carmona and Granada during our tour of Spain. I have stayed in the parador of Carmona before and enjoyed it so much I want to share the experience with my son who has never visited Spain before.
We've stayed at 9 Paradores (if my math is correct) and will say that, even though they can be expensive, it is well worth it if you are a lover of medieval history. Leon, Zamora, and Zafra are next on our list. Eventually I want to do a driving trip to all the Paradores that sit along the Pyrenees.
Thanks Fred, Paradores are wonderful. And in the current context of absurd price rises in hotels throughout Spain, they are not as expensive as they used to be.

Great to hear of that Jeff, loved to know you had a great experience in each parador.
Love this! We have stayed in paradores in Cuenca, Alcala, Avila and, Lerma so far, and Cuenca was my favorite with spectacular views!
We stayed at the Parador in Cuenca too. Just fantastic!!
Thanks Yukie, great choices there!
👏👏👏
Tony, fantastic videos as always. The tourism office of Spain should be paying you. 😊
Thank you! It would be nice if the tourism office simply acknowledged our existence. But hey, we're happy being 100% independent.
I have many memorable experiences of staying in paradores over the years. My favorites have been the paradores of Toledo, with its magnificent views, Guadalupe, Siguenza, Ronda (right on the cliffs!) and Carmona, a rehabilitated Arabic fortress with sweeping views of the Andalusian countryside.
Thanks for sharing your top picks!

Madrid has far more content than San Sebastián.
I didn’t know about this! Thanks so much!
Our pleasure!

You will have to wait till all the train schedules have been added to the system.
Amazing! This video is super informative. Thank you for all the insights!
Our pleasure, Timothy!
Spectacular, exceptional, incredible: the paradores, the video, the advice, you.
Thanks so much for your kindness, Yara.
