We have used the Paradores a lot stayed at the Fuentes De when we did a tour of the Picos de Europa. The cable car trip to the top is .......mmmm interesting I've got pics somewhere will try and find them. Do like the Paradore chain because of the standard of service (in the main) and quality of hotels usually with a historical slant and if you are over a certain age! you qualify for quite a hefty discount.
