Parador de Gredos
The first Parador
The story of Paradores started here, amongst green pine forests, rugged mountains and crystal-clear waters. The Parador de Gredos was inaugurated on 9 October 1928 by Alfonso XIII as the first establishment in the Paradores Network.
Built from materials taken from the manor house of Villacastín, the robust stone and slate exterior conceals a comfortable interior inspired by traditional Castilian design, where rustic wooden décor creates spaces that are both dignified and welcoming and makes the terraces spectacular viewing points of the Sierra de Gredos.
Built in 1928 as a lodge for royal hunting parties, the Parador de Gredos reflects the commitment of the Network since its inception to build hotels in unique natural settings, beyond the reach of private initiatives.
The Parador also appears in the history books as the place where the fathers of the Spanish Constitution met in early 1978 to draw up their Carta Magna. The event is commemorated in the Salón del Silencio, rebaptised as the Salón de los Ponentes, where the first text of the Spanish Constitution was drafted.
