Information
Ferrol was built to look out to sea, protecting itself from the invasions it faced. The military arsenal is one of the city's most emblematic locations and is closely linked with its history as a naval and military center. It is situated opposite the avenue known as Los Cantones or Alameda de Suances. The silhouette of industrial activity in the city, including the shipyards, the immense beaches and the magical coast that surrounds them all make Ferrol an appealing destination where visitors can enjoy nature, architecture and history.
Right here in La Magdalena neighborhood, just outside the Parador, you will enjoy beautiful sights such as San Roque Fountain, which bears the oldest coat of arms in the city on its stone front, San Xiao Church and the Jofre Theater, one of the most important examples of theater architecture in Spain. A little over twenty minutes away by car, in the municipality of Mugardos, you can visit San Felipe Castle, another beautiful military fortress on the ria of Ferrol.
The Parador de Ferrol invites you to relax, to discover a city filled with history and to enjoy the exquisite Galician cuisine, which will never fail to please your palate.

Typical dishes such as Galician broth or caldeirada (stew), home-made pies, octopus a feira (with potatoes and paprika), Galician-style scallops or filloas (thin crepes) stuffed with seafood.
