Enjoy a historic setting and magnificent views from this 10th-century castle, carefully restored as a luxury hotel but still retaining much of its original charm. The Parador de Tortosa’s setting in the Beceite Mountains allow to look out over the green Ebro Valley and the ancient city of Tortosa. It was originally built by the Moorish King Abderramán III, but over the centuries has been updated in a Gothic style. The interior is traditionally Christian, with vaulted ceilings, wood beams and antique-style, wooden furniture. Take in the stunning views from the spacious sun terrace or the outdoor seasonal swimming pool. You can then try some of the characteristic Catalan cuisine served in the hotel restaurant – a charming venue with exquisite stained-glass windows. This air-conditioned room features a flat-screen satellite TV, private bathroom, safe and mini-bar. Some rooms have a balcony.
