City Parador Hotels in Andalucia

Many of Andalucia´s famous paradors are located in, or on the edge of, major cities, providing an ideal base from which you can explore the city where you are staying. Although these paradors are located in the city, they do not feel like it, as they provide exclusive accommodation away from the noise and pollution of the city.

Beires

Beires is a perfect destination for a relaxing break or to enjoy the great outdoors. A place where you can relax in total tranquility, this rustic village forms part of the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. It has about 110 inhabitants. Beires is divided into two districts by the Barranco del Nacimiento; Zambron and Beires. It is one of the least populated villages of the province.

Almócita

Almócita is found inside the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. The town’s centre is flooded with Moorish architecture which still remains despite the Jewish quarter situated underneath it. It has about 170 inhabitants. Almócita was founded by the descendants of Tubal, surviving the Arab occupation and still preserving the Jewish quarter in its Barrio Bajo.

El Puerto de Santa Maria

Like so many towns in Andalucía the approach to El Puerto de Santa María along the main road is lined with garages, industrial plants and run down buildings. Keep going and cross the River Guadalete on the NIV (if coming from south) and turn into Calle Ribiera de los Mariscos and park in one of the car parks signposted.

Ohanes

Ohanes was the residence of the Catholic Monarchs when Boabdil (the last King of Granada) was overthrown by the Christians. It has about 580 inhabitants. The first evidence of human presence in the area dates back to the Neolithic era, in the so-called Culture of the Caves, where the Nieles and Almecena caves particularly stand out. Ceramic and imprint remains from the fifth millennium BC have been discovered.

Padules

Although small, Padules offers many highlights including an exciting natural environment to explore and its whimsical church, which features armchairs made from the trunks of chestnut trees. Visitors to Padules shouldn’t leave without trying the rosé wine made from a traditional recipe. It has about 410 inhabitants.

Hotels in Marbella

As one of Spain's most exclusive holiday destinations, beloved of the titled, rich and famous, Marbella has a number of luxurious hotels. Many of these are right on the beach, but some are just inland, offering more privacy and spacious surroundings. The most exclusive and sought-after stretch is the so-called "Golden Mile", between Puerto Banus and Marbella.

Barcelo Carmen Granada (formerly Sercotal Carmen)

This four-star hotel is positioned on one of Granada’s main boulevards, close to the shops and cathedral.

The reception is a vintage-contemporary mix of marble floors, leather sofas and glass tables.

Atalaya-Isdabe, Estepona districts

Atalaya-Isdabe occupies the easternmost end of the Estepona municipality, lying between Avenida Hacienda del Sol to the west and the Río Guadalmina to the east.
