A castle
from the 10th Century
In the
middle of the fertile plain 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.
Dining:
Within
the walls, with Arabic motifs, the dining room is important for its large
Gothic windows. Inside, it offers rice dishes, 'anguila en suc' (eels
in broth), 'suquet de peix' (fish in sauce) and 'pastisets' (vermicelli
cakes) and 'Garrofetas' (dessert).
