Featured Parador - Alcañiz
Built on the la Cumbre Cerro Pui Pinos hill top, the 12th-13th Century castle-convent was converted to the seat of the Order of Calatrava in 1179. The Parador, which dominates the "Bajo Aragón Turolense" landscape, has preserved the Tower of Homage, the belfry-sacristy, and the section converted into an Aragonese Palace in the 18th Century.
The interior features Gothic murals, a Plateresque sepulchre and baroque facade decorated with red, ochre and green shades as well as oak beams. There is also a peaceful garden area. The hotel provides a large number of excursions and adventure sports activities.
The comforting Aragonese cuisine offers ‘huevos a la alcañizana’ (alcañiz–style egg dish), ternasco asado (roast young lamb) as well as the local desserts: tortas de Alma y Almendrados (almond tart).
