Parador de Trujillo
Set around two magnificent cloisters the 16th century Franciscan convent of Santa Clara is today the Parador de Trujillo.
The main, original cloister boasts fine Renaissance columns and arches, and connects with the dining room which is set in the chapel vaulted ceiling. The second building is more modern in style with rooms set around a delightful courtyard.
Whether you prefer to sunbathe by the swimming pool or relax in the shady, cloistered courtyards and cool cosy lounges inside, the Parador offers the perfect escape from the heat of Extremadura.
Located in the historic centre of Trujillo a stone's throw from the Playa Mayor with the famous statue of Francisco Pizarro and the church of San Mart?-n de Tours, the Parador is the perfect base to discover the land of the Conquistadores – the adventurers who conquered Latin America in the 15th Century.

Trujillo, Madrid and Inland Spain
Famous for its imposing castle which dates to the 13th century (some Moorish parts to the 9th century) Trujillo, birthplace to Francisco Pizarro, conqueror of the Incas, is a key stop on the Ruta de los Conquistadores. The Plaza mayor is truly magnificent with its statue of Pizarro, mansion houses and the church of san Martin which jointly have been declared an Asset of National Interest.
Guadalupe, Caceres and Mérida are within easy reach and Trujillo is well placed to visit the Monfrague Nature Park, a must-see for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.
