Parador de Villalba, Medieval tower in Vilalba, Spain.
Parador de Villalba is a medieval stone fortress with a central tower serving as a hotel in Vilalba. The structure contains 48 double rooms and 6 junior suites distributed across three floors.
The tower was built in the Middle Ages as a stronghold for the Andrade family, regional counts. Centuries later, the structure became a hotel in 1967 through the Paradores network.
The Salon de los Andrade within the tower displays traditional frescoes and family crests from noble Galician lineages. The decorated hall reflects how the space once served as a gathering place for regional power holders.
The property offers free parking for cars and bicycles along with conference rooms for events. The location sits roughly 74 kilometers from La Coruna airport.
The building merges the original medieval defensive structure with modern additions that resemble a traditional Galician country manor. This blend of old and new emerged during the conversion in the 1960s.
