7-Night Self-Drive Tour of Northern Spain Costs $1,180
07-23-2013
Overnights in Deluxe Historic Paradores
Libertyville, IL, July 23, 2013—Looking for an affordable, enjoyable fall trip to Europe? TourCrafters comes to the rescue with their Northern Spain in Paradores package. The 8-day/7-night self-drive package costs $1,180 per person (land only) and includes accommodation in seven of Spain’s spectacular paradores, seven breakfasts and an 8-day (automatic) car rental with pickup and drop off in Madrid. The price is valid—with Sunday departures--from August 25 to November 24.
Starting out from the exciting city of Madrid, you’ll first visit Guadalupe, a charming and historic village of cobbled streets and traditional houses that also boasts a World Heritage Site. Here you’ll overnight at the Parador of Guadalupe, a 15th-century palace-turned-hotel famed for its Extremaduran cuisine. Then it’s on to Plasencia on the ancient Silver Route, where palaces, ancestral homes and religious buildings make up a unique old quarter. In the Parador de Plasencia, a Gothic-style former convent, you’ll sleep and dine well.
The next stop is Ciudad Rodrigo, a famous fortified town, whose walls enclose a cathedral, castle and other historic buildings. Here you will stay in the Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo, an ivy-covered 14th-century castle. In Salamanca, a provincial capital that’s a treasure house of monuments, you’ll see two cathedrals and the famous 15th-century university and sleep in the Parador de Salamanca, which has a wonderful view of the historic center. In Zamora, another Silver Route city, you’ll visit an old town full of Romanesque art and overnight in the Parador de Zamora, a Renaissance palace with swimming pool. And in Benavente, another historic town, you’ll stay at the Parador de Benavente, another Renaissance castle, this one with beautiful gardens.
Finish up in Leon, a city of incomparable beauty, which offers many places of historic interest: churches, palaces, houses and even Roman walls. Here you will enjoy staying in the Parador de Leon, a regal 16th-century monastery-hospital. And then it’s time to return the car to Madrid.
