The evocative Parador Nacional Casa del Barón is a tourist sight in and of itself. This sumptuous state-run hotel is one of approximately 600 pazos scattered across Galicia. The pazo was a typical stone manor that came into favor in the region during the Middle Ages, usually Baroque in styling with a small chapel, garden and hórreo (granary). This particular pazo was built in the 16th and 17th centuries for the influential Maceda family and has alternately served as a school and a salt mill. Established in 1955 as a parador, the hotel has recently undergone a renovation but still looks as it was intended to look. The parador’s restau-rant isn’t as reputable as others in its chain, but nonetheless serves competent regional cuisine.
