During my career with a Fortune 500 company, we lived in Geneva, Switzerland for three years. We celebrated Christmas in Geneva, then travelled to Spain with our three young children for 10 days after Christmas. Each time we travelled throughout Spain, mostly staying in paradors. We absolutely loved it !
During our three Camino Frances, my wife and I have stayed in several paradors, including the two paradors in Santo Domingo, Leon, Villafranca del Bierzo. You pay more, but what luxury! Scanning YouTube last night, we found a video on Parador Santo Estevo which looks great. It is approximately 60 kms southwest from Saria, Then I found another Parador de Monforte de Lemos approx. 10 miles from Santo Estevo.
I'm wondering if any other pilgrims have taken a side trip to stay in these paradors? I'm guessing these paradors are in remote locations. My wife and I have discussed possibly taking side trips there travelling 20 kms per day. Then taking a bus or taxi back to Sarria and continuing our camino from Sarria to Santiago.
We already have private room reservations for Sept-Oct, 2021. But this might be a nice variation for our 5th camino which will tentatively be in 2023!
