Parador De Argomaniz
NOBLE STONE PALACE
The Parador occupies a splendid Renaissance palace, from which it dominates the
natural beauty of the Plains of Álava, the Gorbea mountain range and the
Ullibarri Gamboa reservoir. The setting invites you to wander round the small,
pleasant hamlet of Argómaniz, and it is also ideal to enjoy the beautiful
natural spaces. The palace, where Napoleon regained strength before attacking
the town of Vitoria/Gasteiz, has the coat of arms of the Larrea family presiding
over the façade of the building and the interior atmosphere, with the spacious
living rooms standing out. In the rest of the common rooms, floors, furniture,
large chests and other details benefit from the charm of its wood, a noble
material which is also present in its incomparable dining room. It offers
traditional recipes, including dishes such as "perretxikos" (mushrooms), snails
and "goxua", a sponge cake with cream, whipped cream and caramel.

HOW TO GET THERE
Located 12 km from Vitoria/Gasteiz, the Parador de Argómaniz is in the
hamlet of the same name, a reflection of peace as it is almost completely
deserted. From its upper part you can make out the Plains of Álavesa and the
mountains of Urbasa and Gorbea. It is easy to reach from the N-1 main road
from Madrid-Irún, next to which it is situated, at km 363, where you turn
off. The hamlet of Argómaniz is 1 km away. |
