We’ve brought together 10 amazing locations for Parador hotels all over Spain. At Zankyou, we love romance and think there’s nothing more dreamy than a getting married in a castle of all places. So here are 10 real-life castles where you can get married in Spain.
The Palacio Conde de Gomar in Galicia, north-west Spain, is an amazing medieval fort looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean. Not only will the views make for an amazingly romantic day, but you will also be spoilt with the great food, including hotel specialities cooked lobster and amazing local beef.
Joining this amazing palace is a host of beautiful buildings. The Parador de Olite in Navarra is a 15th-century building that has its very own medieval towers and brick walls. And just to add to the romance, some of the rooms even have four-poster beds!
With two spaces for holding weddings, the Parador de Olite is a very nice choice if you’re looking for medieval romance.
Meanwhile, up there fighting for first place in the romance stakes are the Paradores in Jarandilla de la Vera (Cáceres) and Sigüenza (just 1.5 hours from Madrid by car).
Bishops and kings have stayed in the 11th-century castle that is now home to the Parador de Sigüenza, while no less than Emperor Carlos V stayed at the palace in Jarandilla de la Vera. Both Paradores are in beautiful locations and if you decide to hold your destination wedding there, you can expect to receive all the necessary help with your planning.
