Parador de Teruel

When you drive up to this parador on the outskirts of Teruel (about 2km (1.3 miles) from the city center), you might do a double take. The building is a substantial country house built in a modern version of the Mudéjar style, right down to the carved plaster, tile decorations, and the use of repeating ogival arches. The garden landscaping even gives the property a quasi-Moorish feel. Rooms are large and modern, and the bathrooms are filled with marble. The restaurant serves Aragonese cuisine with a special emphasis on roasted, grilled, and stewed lamb.
