Parador in Muxia

Spain has a network of paradors which are fancy hotels run by the Spanish government. Portugal has a similar system. Originally they were historic buildings that were updated to be a luxury hotel. If you have seen the Camino movie The Way there is a scene where they stay in the parador in Leon. Recently they have expanded to just putting fancy hotels in tourists spots, the parador in Muxia is an example.

From the beautiful beach it sits above.

It is build on a hill and has six levels. We visited it today by walking up from the beach below. We entered and saw they had an ”elevator” which was really a funicular.

There actually is a second one above and parallel to this one. I guess it is a freight funicular.

The floor numbers were quite confusing until we figured out that the lowest level is 5 and the go up to 0 which is the top level with the main lobby of the hotel. All the rooms have a view of the beach and bay below.

  1. That is quite a hotel. The inside looks pretty minimalist from what I could tell from the photos. Great view!
