The Parador occupies a former 17th-century Augustinian convent, restored in 1972 as part of Spain’s Paradores network to preserve heritage. It represents the region’s Mudéjar architecture and offers unique views over Plaza Mayor, a cultural icon of Chinchón. Discover more details with the professional IAudioguía audio guide.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal because of the mild weather and fewer tourists. At sunset, Plaza Mayor lights up beautifully, making it perfect for photos. Avoid July and August because of the heat; check events on the official website.
Access to the Parador is partially accessible, with ramps at the main entrance from Plaza Mayor, but the square’s uneven cobblestones can make moving around difficult. Adapted rooms are available for guests; contact +34 918 94 08 36 for details. Use the IAudioguía audio guide for a guided visit without physical effort.
Right next to it is the spectacular Plaza Mayor with its wooden balconies; 5 minutes away are the Church of Our Lady of Grace and the Castle of the Counts. Explore the historic old town, famous for its anise tradition. Everything is included in the IAudioguía Chinchón audio guide.
Book a table at the restaurant in advance to try local cuisine such as roast lamb, and wear comfortable shoes because of the cobblestones. Download the IAudioguía audio guide for exclusive stories as you stroll around. Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds.
