Paradores of Spain
The historic Paradores of Spain are the fulfilment of every traveller's dream. These many lovingly restored castles and monasteries offer hospitality in the grand manner with food and wine to match. Their superb settings and romantic associations have made them famous amongst world travelers. Jan Read has been joined by his wife Maite Manjón to make this beautiful volume a very special celebration of these Castles in Spain. The chapter on each Parador starts with a concise historical introduction setting the building in its place in Spain's long history. Then follows a section on the regional foods written with discerning appreciation by two people who know some of the rarer delicacies of this fascinating country. The wines of the region in which the Parador is situated are critically viewed and for those with an interest in exotic cooking Maite Manjón has selected her favorite recipes. -- From publisher's description.
