Parador de Siguenza
Siguenza|0.02km from Castle of Sigüenza
We arrived in Siguenza with no idea what to expect because the hotel was chosen for us as part of a package. As we drove up the hill we were enchanted. This ancient castle has been masterfully transformed into a very comfortable hotel. Our room was large and comfortably appointed. There was a small window with a view of the countryside. AC worked very well. Very nice bar opened onto the courtyard. Excellent breakfast with hot and cold items. We ate dinner at the hotel once and enjoyed it very much, but there are several excellent restaurants within an easy walk. Siguenza is a small town, but my wife found enough to keep herself occupied for the two days we were there. The cathedral was particularly interesting, with an El Greco on display. This is quite a large property. When we arrived a tour group was staying there overnight. I suspect they get quite a few. It also seems to host functions like weddings. They certainly have the facilities, and it would be a charming venue. This was our first experience with the Parador group, which was founded in the 1920s. Since then it has apparently expanded to about a hundred properties, mostly in historic buildings. If Siguenza is typical, we will seek them out for future travel in this fascinating country.
