Topping the list with good reason is the Parador Hostal San Marcos Formerly the convent of San Isidro founded by the Order of Santiago, this massive 15th-century Renaissance abode still seams to echo the prayers of nuns and knights.
The conversion to a parador has done little to temper the original appearance and much to preserve its stunning antiquity. The intricate plateresque façade gives way to interior spaces that are elegant and plush. A coffered Mudéjar ceiling hangs above the lounge. Dining tables look down on the gardens of the original cloister.
A number of the rooms share the stone walls of the church. An annex was added to accommodate the influx of tourists during
the high-season and, although it lacks the quality of the original rooms, it nonetheless borrows some of the grandeur of its setting.
