Hello - May I ask, how much should one add to their budget to stay in one of these grand hotels?newfydog said:Almost every chance we've had.
The first was in the town of Santo Domingo---Parador Santo Domingo. built by Santo Domingo himself for the pilgrims. We toasted the carved roosters with a Torres brandy. We skipped the Parador in Leon and camped to save money. Next was the oldest hotel in the world, the Parador in Santiago, built by Queen Isabella for the Pilgrims. Just like the pelerin in the movie St Jacques, Le Mecque we had a grand finish.
They are an integral part of the history and culture, and if there is any way to stay there, you should.
