Parador de Almagro

One wouldn’t immediately think this Parador was in a former convent. It was a cross between Don Quixote and Luis XV. Some furnishings was rustic Spanish while others had a country French feel. Our room was a fair size although the bathroom was small. The walls were partially tiled that added to the atmosphere. The room had a safe and mini bar. There were plenty of courtyards and patios as well as numerous guest lounges. The staff was very personable and helpful. On-site parking was plentiful and free. The Parador is about a five minutes walk from the main plaza in town. My one negative was on our second morning there we ordered eggs for breakfast. After waiting 20 minutes we assumed the waitress forgot to place the order, but by then we had eaten other things and didn’t bother to reorder. The bad part was there were only two other couple eating breakfast at that time.

Almagro, as well as it’s Parador are a must be for Spain lovers.The f9rmer convent grants you peacefull moments and the sense of grandeur.

Not a great experience given that the location and building itself are fine. Food - both dinnner and brekfast - was awful. Hot food served cold and over-priced.
