We just returned from a short visit to the Parador de Gijon. This Parador follows exactly the pattern of a good Parador: attentive staff (without too much stuffiness), good location, comfortable amenities, good size rooms, lovely restaurant.

This is really better than it sounds -- they are really nice places. There really isn't an American equivalent -- the closest comparison would be... more
