Parador De Cardona
MEDIEVAL CASTLE WITH TOWER AND ROMANESQUE CHURCH
The Parador is located on a headland, in a fortified 9th c. enclosure in
which there is also the 2nd c. Minyona tower and an 11th c. church,
representative elements of the Catalan Romanesque from nearby. Its situation
offers an exceptional panoramic view of the town and of the fertile lands
bathed by the river Cardoner. Some bedrooms have the charm of four poster
beds. Moats, towers, walls and Gothic elements combine with a decoration in
which comfort and Catalan inspired medieval furniture predominate. In the
dining room the Catalan cuisine offers assortments of forest mushrooms and a
variety of sausages, not forgetting "butifarra con mongetes" (sausages with
haricot beans).
