Parador de Cardona

Spain – Catalonia – Barcelona – Cardona

4-star

This famous historic Parador is a 14th-century medieval castle perched high above the town of Cardona, surrounded by 9th-century fortified walls. The views from the battlements across the town, the river and the surrounding countryside are spectacular. The moats, turrets, arches and Romanesque walls will delight visitors with an interest in history. With magnificent Catalan-inspired medieval furniture, drapes and tapestries, and some bedrooms furnished with four-poster beds, this Parador is steeped in history and atmosphere. The medieval-style restaurant specializes in typical Catalan cooking, with wild mushrooms, hams, and Butifarra con mongetes (Catalan sausage served with haricot beans).
