19TH CENTURY PALACE
The new
Parador in Limpias is located in the Palace of Eguilior estate, which was the
summer headquarters of King Alfonso XIII´sCouncil. The palace belonged to Don
Manuel de Eguilior, the Count of Albox, and is attributed to the architect
Emilio de la Torriente.
The palace is a large square building with four pseudo-towers at each corner,
none of which is very high. Built in a rustic style, some of its most notable
features include the masonry of its walls (contrasting with the corner ashlars)
and especially the large balconies and historicist entrance gate with a touch of
modernism.
The estate boasts a variety of catalogued trees (some have been designated as
World Heritage) and it is located in a region of considerable ecological value.
Housed in a building that reflects the typical architectural style of the
region, and in complete harmony with its surroundings, the Parador offers all
the services corresponding to an establishment of its category, with the added
value of a large wooded area and gardens, seasonal swimming pool, and tennis and
paddle-tennis courts, all in grounds measuring some 55,000m2. Furthermore, it
has ideal facilities for any type of banquet, social gathering or business
event.
