Parador of the Count of Gondomar

The Parador of the Count of Gondomar stands within the stone walls of Monterreal Castle, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from its elevated position.

The fortress served as a military stronghold until 1859, and in 1963 the Spanish government acquired the property to transform it into a luxury hotel.

The hotel maintains traditional Galician architectural elements throughout its structure, integrating regional design elements with modern accommodations.

Located at Avenida Arquitecto Jesús Valverde 3, the hotel contains multiple dining areas, gardens, and a chapel within its fortified enclosure.

The property carries the name of Don Diego Sarmiento de Acuña, who defended Baiona against Sir Francis Drake's naval attack in 1585.
