Parador
The most outstanding feature of this hotel is its location right inside the Doñana Natural Park, which is the protected area surrounding the Doñana National Park. It is perched on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The Parador at Mazagón in Huelva province also has a very nice swimming pool with views out over the sea and many rooms have good sea views from their balconies.
While perching on a cliff, there is access to the vast stretches of unspoiled beaches below.
There is no better way to see Málaga than from the Gibralfaro Castle Parador. Built on a hilltop, next to the Alcazaba fortress and overlooking the city, the port and especially the bullring.
The Parador in Carmona occupies a 14th century Moorish fortress, known as an Alcázar in Spanish. Staying here is one of the best ways to get an intimate glimpse of Arab style architecture – the building is beautiful and the views are stunning.
