The Parador Vía de la Plata occupies the site of a former Roman temple dedicated to the Concordia de Augusta. The building itself was an 18th-century convent that later served as a hospital and jail. In keeping with the town’s heritage, Roman, Visigoth and Mozarabic relics decorate the common areas and inner-courtyard. The Andalucian-styled patio and Mozarabic gardens are a pretty sight from some of the rooms. Others look out onto the city and all are simple but tasteful in décor, perhaps a little worse for wear than one might expect from a parador, but comfortable nonetheless. The parador’s restaurant is, not surprisingly, devoted to regional cuisine, with such offerings as criadillos (truffles), the caldereta extremeña (a stew), and cold gazpacho soups Extremaduran-style.
