The Convent of San Francisco was built by the Davila de la Cueva family in 1596 and is now a four star Parador.
It is located in an historic, artistic position of great interest and is very close to the most attractive area of the town. The interior of the Parador has an elegant, serene atmosphere and this is reflected in the bedrooms and public areas. There are beautiful galleries which feature much rich wood and latticework. There are 14 inner courtyards and a splendid garden which was used, in former times, for social functions. The various public rooms in the Parador reflect very different styles. The room which is now used as a conference room has an austerity which one would associate with a convent and is in sharp contrast with the Louis 15th room which is furnished in keeping with the luxury of that period. The wine cellar has been converted into a bar with a 'Cervantine' ambiance. The bedrooms, originally the monastic cells, are a haven of peace and tranquility and comprise forty four twin bedrooms, two single bedrooms, five double bedrooms and three suites. Each bedroom has a telephone, television with cable and satellite TV, mini bar and a safe. The Parador has air conditioning, heating, an elevator, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, conference room and facilities for disabled persons. The restaurants of the Parador group hotels offer a variety of dishes including a selection of local and regional specialities. They also offer a diabetic, vegetarian and gluten free option. At this Parador you will find cuisine from the La Mancha region. Some dishes have an Arabic influence from the period when the region was under the control of the Moors from North Africa. For sight seeing In the area, you may care to visit the Corral de Comedias (the old Theatre), the Convent of Calatrava, the Palace of Fugger, the Old University, Plaza Mayor, and the Cathedral. The Almagro International Festival of Classical Drama is usually held in July. Other interesting events are the feasts of Virgen de las Nieves and San Bartolome which are both held in August. The Tablas de Daimiel National Park is approximately 30 kilometres away and has now recovered after being adversely affected by years of drought. The nearest railway station is approximately 1 kilometer from the Parador. |
