16TH
CENTURY RENAISSANCE PALACE
This
Parador rises up in the most Renaissance square of the aristocratic and
monumental town of Úbeda, next to some of the most beautiful buildings,
in a former palace built in the 16th century and altered in the 17th, which
belonged to the dean of the Sacred chapel of El Salvador. The façade
of the Parador conceals a very beautiful inner courtyard with a double
gallery whose upper part is glazed.
Its
friendly and comfortable bedrooms stand out for the height of their ceilings.
Worthy of note are the six which look onto the square and the suite, located
in the opposite corner, from which a wide panoramic view of the Vázquez
de Molina square can be enjoyed.
Andalusian
details and dishes adorn the space occupied by the dining room, which offers
good peppers stuffed with partridge, bull's tail in red wine from La Loma
and stewed kid with pine nuts.
