Parador De Santo Domingo De La Calzada
FORMER HOSPITAL ON THE PILGRIMS' ROAD TO SANTIAGO
The Parador occupies a 12th c. former hospital, next to the cathedral, built by
Saint Dominic to give shelter to the pilgrims on the Road to Santiago. In a
regal and elegant style, it has majestic living rooms and a lobby with Gothic
arches and wooden coffered ceilings. Noble materials and bright colours - blues
and whites - lead to comfortable bedrooms, decorated with exquisite taste; some
have four poster beds. A warm, harmonious and balanced environment, also
suitable for social functions and meetings. In the restaurant it is possible to
sample stuffed "piquillo" peppers, "bacalao a la riojana" (cod) and vegetable
stew from La Ribera, in addition to the excellent wines of La Rioja.
