Luxury four star hotel in a restored twelfth century castle

The Parador hotel has been built on the site of the castle constructed by King Fernando II of Leon. The castle was destroyed in 1808 during the Napoleonic Wars.
Parador de Benavente
Incorporated in the Parador is the old tower of the castle known as the "Torre del Caracol". This tower contains a beautiful room of the Parador with a much admired Mudejar coffered ceiling.

Beautiful gardens surround the parador where it is possible to sit and enjoy a glass of local wine.

The interior decoration is of classical style with the wall ornaments such as wrought iron lamps recalling the turbulent past of the castle.

The castilian bricks are featured in the walls with wood floors covered in rugs. The coffered ceilings are a special feature of this Parador.

The bedrooms are particularly pleasant. There are thirty twin bedrooms, three double bedrooms, two suites and three single bedded rooms.
Parador de Benavente
The Parador restaurant, as usual, specialises in the regional cooking. Worth trying are:
"Bacalao a la tranca", a dish of reconstituted dried salted cod with eggs and peppers.
"Dos y pingada" fried eggs and bacon together with fried bread.
"Lechazo asado" which is roast lamb.
"Tocinillo de ceilo" which is a desert made with egg yolks and syrup.

The restaurant also has a special gluten free menu.

Benavente has over the centuries been a favourite resting place for teavellers being the crossing point of the road from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela and the road from France to Pontevedra, Tui and Vigo.
