Parador de Chinchón
Avda.
Generalísimo, 1. 28370. Chinchón, Madrid |
|
Founded
by the Lords of Chinchón in the 17th c., this former Augustinian
convent protects its monumental heritage in that of the old quarter of
Chinchón, with its emblematic Plaza Mayor. In this framework, the
cypress trees, roses and privets of the garden offer a beautiful picture,
with the addition of a splendid cloister and softened by the blue of its
swimming pool.

CENTURY AUGUSTINIAN CONVENT

Walls
with a Renaissance stamp, large windows and vaults, classical and Castilian
style furniture, and its pleasant, spacious bedrooms make up the inner
space, which is characterized by an atmosphere of peace and quiet.
Visit
either of the Parador's two restaurants: 'El Convento' and 'El Bodegón'.
El
Convento offers exquisite creations based on traditional cooking, with
a personal touch. We recommend the Tasting Menu and dishes prepared using
quality products from the Chinchón river valley. |
| El
Bodegón, open weekends and holidays, offers theme-based cuisine,
with two tempting types of seasonal fare: El Cocido completo de Taba (Taba
chickpea and sausage stew served in two courses) based on an original recipe
from the late 19th century, and La Cocina de la Vega, which features dishes
prepared according to traditional, age-old recipes from the Chinchón
river valley." |
