Parador
de Olite, Olite, Navarra Province ***
The hotel stands alongside
a national monument, a magnificent castle-palace declared a National Monument.
The comfortable facilities of the parador blend in with the medieval characteristics
of the castle, allowing the past and present to exist in harmony.
Maintaining the medieval style, some of the rooms have four poster beds,
arches and other typical signs of that age. Guests can sample some
of the typical cuisine of the region, such as 'las magras con tomate',
'las costillas asadas en parrilla' (grilled ribs), and 'el conejo con caracoles'
(rabbit with snails). For dessert there are 'las coronillas de Pamplona'
and 'las alpargatas de peralta y Estella'. Whilst in the region,
one should take the opportunity to visit the city of Pamplona. The Parador
backs on to the palace-castle which has been declared a National Monument. |
