Parador De Santiago 15TH CENTURY MEDIEVAL TOWER This impressive medieval Galician tower, now converted into a Parador, dominates the urban and rural landscape of this town in Lugo, in the fertile region "da terra chá", lands which grew up around this tower and in which the gentlemen of Andrade. Counts of Vilalba, would live. The Parador offers cozy, peaceful spaces with that medieval look; the 6 rooms located in the tower and the "Salón de los Andrade" also share this style, all with mural paintings and coats of arms. In the shadow of the tower stands the new building, wrought in stone, and in the style of a typical Galician palace, where the remaining rooms, bar, restarurant, etc., are located. Among the gastronomic specialities "lacón con grelos" (cooked pork with chopped turnip tops) "empanada de raxo" (pork and potato pie), beef brochettes and the famous "capón vilalbés" (capón Vilalba style) star of the Christmas season, are well worth mentioning. HOW TO GET THERE The Parador rises up in the old quarter of Vilalba, next to Santa María church.
