A REFUGE WITH PYRENEAN CHARM
Located in the `Val dArán`, just 7 km from Baqueira, in an
area of the Catalan Pyrenees where the woods, the snow-capped peaks in winter
and the freshness of the green in summer are the true protagonists of the
landscape. The Parador, in the style of the local architecture, rises up in the
so-called House of D. Gaspar de Portolá, the discoverer of California. It has
attic bedrooms, wood-lined beams and numerous conference rooms, among which the
Salón Chimenea stands out. The friendly common rooms invite you to stay the
night in an ideal setting for taking up outdoor activities. The cooking is
influenced by the specialties of the region such as `olla aranesa` (stew),
trout `a la llosa`, `civet de jabalí` (jugged wild boar) and the sweet `pescajus
de Artíes`.
