desirable spot in the La Mancha landscape. The common rooms and bedrooms

Parador

Pablo occupies a privileged position in the Hoz del Huécar gorge,
a compendium of sheer walls and luxuriant vegetation on the outskirts of
Cuenca, next to the 'Casas Colgadas' (Suspended Houses). The glazed cloister,
and the former chapel, now an inviting café, complement an interior
which combines traditional elements with more contemporary details such
as wicker, leather and upholstery. The comfortable, welcoming bedrooms
stand out, some of which have splendid views of the 'Casas Colgadas'. |

Parador
de Alarcón, Cuenca
This castle of S. VIII,
authentic medieval fortress, is based in a meander of the Júcar
river, on a promontory in you are contiguous manchego-levantinas.
The architecture of the Parador, which occupies the medieval castle of
the Marquises of Villena, is the result of more than three centuries of
history. Regal oak wood and a mix of modern and classic have made this
a new Parador, where the fabrics accentuate its medieval character. The
use of reds and oranges contrasts with the sobriety of the space, and serves
to frame a true collection of paintings which echoes the famous museum
of abstract art in Cuenca. Tapies, Redondela, Sempere, Amadeo Gabino, Alvaro
Delgado, Martínez Novillo and Menchu Gal are just some of the painters
whose work decorates the former Castle of the Marquises of Villena, a peaceful
refuge on the Castilian plateau. |

Parador

which was constructed on a Roman settlement, construction on this imposing

beautiful natural spaces. The traditional Castilian furniture is displayed
with taste in the spacious, friendly bedrooms, some with four poster beds
and terrace, genuine royal chambers in a palace which conserves stately
living rooms, ideal for meetings and celebrations, and a 13th c. Romanesque
chapel. |
