Sometimes I'm asked what Spanish sites are not to be missed in a visit to Spain, to which I normally respond: the Alhambra in Granada, the Mezquita in Cordoba, etc. Funny thing is, some of the Spanish places I have the fondest memories of are not on my "must see list," things like my visit to the cave home in Guadix, the walled city of Laguardia, the Roman ruins in Merida, and the Palace of Lebrija in Seville.

The Parador of Sos de Rey Catolico
Receives the highest rating my wife has ever given to a Spain accommodation. Exceptional services, spacious room and historic atmosphere make this the place to stay if you are exploring Sos del Rey Catolico and near by communities, such as Uncastillo, the Monasterio de San Juan de la Pena, Castillo de Loarre and the Valleys of Anso and Hecho.
