Pajares Parador cafeteria reopens!

[peregrina2000]

I haven't had much time for the forum these days but just had to share this link (from either Javier or Rebekah, thanks to whomever!)

According to the article, a hotelier from Menorca bought the whole building for 900,000 + €. He estimates it will take another 600,000 to refurbish the hotel (that seems awfullynlow to me since it's been closed for more than a decade) but for now the cafeteria is open. Hope it doesn't squeeze out the guys across the street, who rebuilt after a fire I believe.

Maybe he will also offer guided luxury Salvador walks. Or maybe he will help make a better path on the left side of the road in front of his new hotel.

Happy holidays to all. Buen camino, Laurie

Great news! When the hotel re-opens it will be a nice alternative to staying in Pajares itself.

We drove up to Puerto de Pajares from Santa Cristina and Terry took this photo on May (2017).
The parador looked in good condition - not as though it had been closed for so long.
The views from its windows must be amazing, they were from the adjacent field.
