The building is notable for its stone walls and slate roof. Its main façade was built from the ruins of the local manor house. It has several lounges with fireplaces, a shrine and a children's playroom. But what really stands out are the spectacular views of the Sierra de Gredos from all of its terraces.
It is located in the town of Navarredonda de Gredos (Ávila), just 2 hours by car from Madrid. Located in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos, the Parador is an unbeatable destination for nature, hiking and astronomy enthusiasts. You can also visit the small villages in the area and the towns of El Barco de Ávila or Arenas de San Pedro.
In summer you can have a dip in the natural pools. There are other activities such as mushroom picking tours, horse-riding, bird watching or having fun with the little ones in the adventure parks. A little more than half an hour's drive away, are two historical towns on the banks of the river Tormes: Arenas de San Pedro and El Barco de Ávila.
Don’t miss out on stargazing at night. The Parador de Gredos has been awarded the international Starlight certification for the quality of its night sky as it is an area protected from light pollution. At the Parador we organise astronomy activities and courses with certified instructors.
