Parador De Olite
15TH CENTURY MEDIEVAL CASTLE
The Parador occupies one of the wings of the majestic 15th c. palace-castle,
declared a National Monument and from which its towers and battlements stand
out. In keeping with its medieval setting, it rises up on solid stone walls and
offers a glimpse of the numerous historical adventures it lived through in
other times, such as the holding of parliament under the government of the Noble
King. The medieval spirit is maintained on the inside, with very beautiful
stained glass windows on the staircase and in the dining room, arcades and
ornamental details such as armour, rugs, wrought iron lamps and wooden coffered
ceilings. The comfortable and friendly bedrooms of the Parador have the charm of
four-poster beds. The restaurant offers an excellent display of indigenous
products: the fresh asparagus and "piquillo" peppers stand out.
