Parador
La Muralla Hotel Ceuta, North Africa **** The hotel is located in
the bustling centre of the city, known as the Plaza de Nuestra Senora de
Africa. This monumental space has the santisima Cathedral church to the
right, the Municipal Palace opposite, the Nuestr Senora de Africa sanctuary
and the Commander's Headquarters to the left. The majority of the rooms
are decorated in a classical style whilst the remainder are modern. The
suites are situated in the ancient vaults of the artillery park. Every
single room is fully equipped. The typical Andalusian cooking predominates
here. The food is highly recommended and includes fried fish, seafood and
dishes of Arab origin, in particular, the shish kebab. There is a continuous
ferry service, linking Ceuta with continental Spain.
Parador
de Melilla, Melilla - North Africa *** This Parador is located
on a hill, from which the walled town and the extensive beaches surrounding
it can be seen. Rising up over a small valley in the upper part of the
Lobera park, this building, bathed in the North African sun, enjoys a quiet
position thanks to its private garden and refreshing swimming pool. Comfortable
facilities share elegance and simplicity in the decoration of the bedrooms,
with attractive panoramic views from their terraces. The culinary display,
with a clear Andalusian inspiration, is rich in shellfish and fish. The
'rape Estopiñán' (anglerfish) and fried vegetable salad with
Melilla salted fish stand out.
