Parador De Jaen
EXCEPTIONAL 13TH C. ARABIC FORTRESS
The privileged location of the Parador on Santa Catalina Hill offers it the
character of defensive bastion of the horizon of Jaén. The origin and
destination to discover the charm of the Andalusian Renaissance, it has a
refreshing swimming pool which, along with the exterior stone, offers
protection from the burning sun which inundates the surroundings. The
monumental nature is maintained on the inside, where the impressive 20 m.
high crossed arches of the main living room, the dining room, with a marked
Arabic character, and the comfortable and friendly bedrooms with magnificent
panoramic views stand out. The ensemble, decorated in soft shades, is
complemented by a varied gastronomic display: "ajo blanco" (cold garlic soup),
partridge salad, "pipirrana" (mixed salad) and "morcilla en caldera" (black
pudding in the pot).
