of the Ebro and backed by the Beceite mountains, which can be superbly
viewed from the swimming pool and balconies, the Parador rises up in the
upper part of the town, in a setting which combines the monumental beauty
of the town with the attractions of the different natural enclaves which
surround it. Abderramán III decided to build this fortification,
which now houses La Zuda (the well), next to four splendid large Catalan
Gothic windows. The decoration of the interior assimilates the predominance
of Christian and regal characters with classical style furniture and wooden
beams. Within the walls, with Arabic motifs, the dining room is important
for its large Gothic windows. |
