Noble
Renaissance Palace looking over the plains of Álava in Argómaniz,
Spain
 |
The Parador
occupies a splendid Renaissance palace, from which it dominates the natural
beauty of the Plains of Álava, the Gorbea mountain range and the
Ullibarri Gamboa reservoir.
The surroundings
invite you to wander around the small, pleasant village of Argómaniz,
also ideal for enjoying the beautiful natural spaces.
The
palace, where Napoleon regained his strength before attacking the town
of Vitoria, boasts the Larrea family coat of arms on the façade
of the building and a wonderful interior atmosphere, with the spacious
living rooms standing out.
