The Parador de Pontevedra
Located in the historic quarter of Pontevedra, the Parador de Pontevedra is an architectural gem that blends the charm of a 16th-century Renaissance palace with the comforts of a modern hotel.
This former noble manor, now an exclusive accommodation, is a perfect stop for pilgrims walking the Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela, as well as for any traveler looking to immerse themselves in the history and charm of the city.
The Parador occupies what was once the residence of the Counts of Maceda—a stately building featuring an impressive interior courtyard, stone staircases, and elegant lounges adorned with period furnishings. The rooms preserve the historic essence of the palace while offering modern comfort, ensuring a peaceful and restful stay.
The Parador’s restaurant is a true tribute to Galician cuisine. Here, you can savor local specialties such as scallop empanada, “pulpo a feira” (Galician-style octopus), hake loin with clams, and the traditional Tarta de Santiago, all accompanied by an excellent selection of regional wines.
