What is a Parador hotel in Spain?
'Parador' is the name given in Spain to luxury hotels managed by a state-run company and usually located in buildings of historic importance such as fortresses, monasteries and castles; but also new buildings set in nature reserves and areas of outstanding beauty.
Paradores de Turismo de España, the public company managing these luxury hotels, was founded by King Alfonso XIII to promote tourism in Spain. The first parador, Parador de Gredos in Ávila, was opened in 1928 by the King. Today there are 94 paradores from 3 to 5 stars all across Spain, many along the Camino de Santiago.
Parador comes from the Spanish 'parar' which means to stop, halt or stay. The concept behind paradores is to open exceptional historic properties to the public, and use the hotels profits to maintain these beautiful buildings. Most of them also have excellent restaurants offering traditional cuisine at a high standard using local and seasonal produce.
Regardless of the parador's date or style, they all are refurbished to high standard offering all modern comforts, as long as they comply with protected building regulations. Prices at Spanish paradores will vary depending on the room, region and season.
You will find various stunning 'paradores' along the Camino de Santiago:

지브롤터에서 해안도로를 따라 달리면 말라가가 나온다. ‘코스타 델 솔’ 즉, 태양의 해변이라 불리며 아름다운 바다를 자랑하는 이 지역에서도 최고의 휴양지로 꼽히는 말라가. 말라가가 유명한 이유는 또 있다. 입체파를 대표하는 천재 화가, 피카소가 태어난 곳이기 때문이다. 제일 먼저 피카소 생가를 찾았다. 피카소가 어린 시절 가족과 함께 살았던 곳, 일기, 편지, 만화 등이 전시돼 있지만 작품 수가 그리 많지 않아 둘러보는 데 얼마 걸리지 않았다. 말보다 그림을 먼저 배웠다고 전해지는 피카소. 말라가에서 태어나 어린 시절 바르셀로나로 이사를 했고, 본격적으로 화가로서 꽃을 피운 곳은 프랑스 파리였지만, 그는 자신이 태어난 곳은 말라가임을 얘기하곤 했다. 그는 자서전에 ‘나는 안달루시아의 작은 물잔에서 태어났다’ 라는 말을 남기기도 했다. 피카소 생가 앞 공원. 누구나 함께 사진을 찍을 수 있게 피카소 동상이 세워져 있다. 그런데 다들 피카소 동상의 머리 부분을 한 두 번씩 친다. 왜, 그럴까? 피카소의 천부적인 재능을 받기 위해서일까? 알아보니 아무 이유 없단다.

If you run along the coastal road from Gibraltar, you come to Malaga. The Costa del Sol, the beach of the sun, boasts a beautiful sea and is considered one of the best resorts in Malaga. There is another reason why Malaga is famous. It is because genius painter representing Cubism, Picasso was born. First, I found Picasso's birthplace. While Picasso lived with his family during his childhood, his diary, letters and cartoons were on display, but not so many, so it did not take him long to look around. Picasso is said to have learned painting before the horse. Born in Malaga, he moved to Barcelona as a child and used to say that he was born in Malaga, although Paris was the place where he flourished as a painter in earnest. In his autobiography he left the phrase I was born in a small glass of Andalucia. Picasso's birthplace in front of the park. A Picasso statue is set up so that everyone can take pictures together. But everybody strikes the head of the Picasso statue one or two times. Why? Is it to receive Picasso's natural talent? There is no reason to know.

Si recorres la carretera costera desde Gibraltar, vienes a Málaga. La Costa del Sol, la playa del sol, cuenta con un hermoso mar y es considerado uno de los mejores centros turísticos de Málaga. Hay otra razón por la que Málaga es famosa. Es porque el pintor genio que representa al cubismo, nació Picasso. Primero, encontré el lugar de nacimiento de Picasso. Mientras Picasso vivía con su familia durante su infancia, su diario, cartas y dibujos animados estaban en exhibición, pero no tantos, por lo que no le tomó mucho tiempo mirar alrededor. Se dice que Picasso aprendió a pintar antes del caballo. Nacido en Málaga, se mudó a Barcelona de niño y solía decir que nació en Málaga, aunque París fue el lugar donde floreció como pintor en serio. En su autobiografía dejó la frase Nací en un vaso pequeño de Andalucía. Lugar de nacimiento de Picasso frente al parque. Se configura una estatua de Picasso para que todos puedan tomar fotos juntos. Pero todos golpean al jefe de la estatua de Picasso una o dos veces. Por que si ¿Es para recibir el talento natural de Picasso? No hay razón para saberlo.

Guadalquivir River, Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
The Guadalquivir is the fifth longest river in the Iberian peninsula and the second longest river with its entire length in Spain. The Guadalquivir is 657 kilometers long and drains an area of about 58,000 square kilometers. It begins at Cañada de las Fuentes (village of Quesada) in the Cazorla mountain range (Jaén), passes through Córdoba and Seville and ends at the fishing village of Bonanza, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, flowing into the Gulf of Cádiz, in the Atlantic Ocean. The marshy lowlands at the river's end are known as Las Marismas. It borders Doñana National Park reserve. The Guadalquivir river is the only great navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable to Seville, but in Roman times it was navigable to Córdoba. The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found. The Phoenicians established the first anchorage grounds and dealt in precious metals. The Romans settled in Hispalis (Seville), in the 2nd century BC, making it into an important river port. By the 1st century BC Hipalis was a walled city with shipyards building longboats to carry wheat. In the 1st century AD the Hispalis was home to entire naval squadrons. Ships sailed to Rome with various products: minerals, salt, fish, etc. During Arab rule between 712 to 1248, the Moors left a stone dock and the Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), to reinforce the port defences. In the 13th century, Ferdinand III expanded the shipyards and from Seville's busy port, grain, oil, wine, wool, leather, cheese, honey, wax, nuts and dried fruit, salted fish, metal, silk, linen and dye were exported throughout Europe. After the discovery of the Americas, Seville became the economic centre of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolised the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) wielded its power. As navigation of the Guadalquivir River became increasingly difficult Seville's trade monopoly was transferred to Cádiz.The construction of the artificial canal known as the Corta de Merlina in 1794 marked the beginning of the modernisation of the port of Seville. In late November 2010 the new Seville lock began to function as a regulator of the tides to finish five years of work (2005-2010). The Guadalquivir River Basin occupies an area of 63,085 km2 and has a long history of severe flooding. During the winter of 2010 heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in rural and agricultural areas in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Jaen in the Andalusia region. The accumulated rainfall in the month of February was above 250 liters per m2, double the precipitation for Spain for that month. In March 2010 several tributaries of the Guadalquivir flooded, causing over 1,500 people to flee their homes as a result of increased flow of the Guadalquivir River, which on 6 March 2010 reached a volume of 2000 m3/s in Cordoba and 2700 m3/s in Seville. This was below that recorded in Seville in the flood of 1963 when a volume of 6000 m3/s. was reached. During August 2010 when flooding occurred in Jaen, Cordoba and Seville three people died in Cordoba as a result. A reconstructed waterwheel is located at Cordoba on the Guadalquivir River. The Molino de la Albolafia waterwheel originally built by the Romans provided water for the nearby Alcazar gardens as well as being used to mill flour. The Alcazar was the castle and royal residence of Cordoba, inhabited by the caliphs in Islamic times, and later by the Spanish royalty. The Doñana disaster, also known as the Aznalcollar Disaster or Guadiamar Disaster was an industrial accident in Andalusia. In April 1998 a holding dam burst at the Los Frailes mine, near Aznalcóllar, Seville Province, releasing 4–5 million cubic metres of mine tailings. The Doñana National Park was also impacted by this event. Of the numerous bridges spanning the Guadalquivir, one of the oldest is the Roman Bridge in Cordoba. Significant bridges at Seville include the Puente del Alamillo (1992), Puente de Isabel II or Puente de Triana (1852), and Puente del V Centenario (1972). The El Tranco de Beas Dam at the head of the river was built between 1929 and 1944 as a hydroelectricity project of the Franco regime. Doña Aldonza Dam is located in the Guadalquivir riverbed, in the Andalusian municipalities of Ubeda, Peal de Becerro and Torreperogil in the province of Jaen. The Port of Seville is the primary port on the Guadalquivir River. The Port Authority of Seville is responsible for developing, managing, operating, and marketing the Port of Seville. The entrance to the Port of Seville is protected by a lock that regulates the water level, making the port free of tidal influences. The Port of Seville contains over 2.7 thousand meters of berths for public use and 1.1 thousand meters of private berths.
