This Parador is located in the illustrious town of Villafranca del Bierzo, capital of a very beautiful region and former station on the road to Santiago. Its architecture imitates the lines and forms of nearby, closely-felt Galicia. The landscapes of the Ancares mountain range to the north complement the beauty of the Parador's garden. Its interior is characterized by traditional Castilian decoration in furniture in the entrance halls, chairs and wrought iron lamps. The wooden floors in the bedrooms and elsewhere offer elegance and comfort. The living room, one of the most pleasant spaces of the Parador, is welcoming and comfortable. Trout with lard and peppers, 'botillo' (local sausage), pies and stewed veal Bierzo style are some of the dishes offered by the spacious restaurant.
