Parador right on the Camino going out of town!
Pros:

It had an elevator and a soaking tub. The cloister was nice. Very tidy and clean. It was slightly upscale, too.

Cons:

There was an incessant mechanical buzzing that I could hear in my room and it kept me from having a good night’s sleep (and therefore an exhausting next day on the Camino). I called the reception about it when I arrived and there was absolutely no attempt to fix it or even look into it. It never stopped. Also - the decor is fabulous 80s monastery. Just fine. Save your extra Camino budget for a nicer spot.

Pros:

Está bien ubicado, puedes aparcar al lado y sin problema. Si no quieres coger el desayuno tienes opciones cercanas para desayunar ya que está cerca de una zona con variedad de sitios. La habitación bien de tamaño.

Cons:

Creo que merece una pequeña reforma o lavado de cara sin perder el encanto del parador, pero no tengo nada malo que reseñar

After 20 km on the Camino, it is so nice to walk into a well appointed, historic property with proper air-conditioning.
Pros:

This is a beautiful property. It’s an old convent and its exuding history and European old world character. And the front desk staff, trained to an exceptional level of customer service and communication. The rooms are large, the bathrooms are well appointed, and there’s tons of sitting areas throughout the property. It’s close to the central part of town without being in the middle of the action, it’s just perfect.

Cons:

This property was perfect.
