"One of the pleasures of staying in a Parador is experiencing the local dishes and the ambience of the main restaurant. We were very disappointed. Having arrived early afternoon and enjoyed a beer and cheese roll for lunch we were looking forward to dinner. After a pre-prandial gin and tonic in the bar we were looking for the restaurant to open at 8.00pm. It didn't. Instead, tables set out in the bar were where you were expected for dinner. Then it got worse. The menu was very restricted; in fact a sort of bar menu. There was a set dinner for 27euros comprising a very limited choice of starters, main courses and desserts. After a starter of goat's and sheep cheese selection we both chose the local speciality; skate wings in a paprika sauce. The skate was tasteless and the paprika sauce was no more than a brown coloured sort of gravy. Totally tasteless. The desserts were better; fresh fruit and yoghurt and lemon sorbet but even the biscuits served were stale. This was the worst dinner we have ever experienced in a Parador; outrageous to be charged 27euros per head. One understands that it is out of season, overheads are high etc but if a Parador is open for service they must do better than this. We had stayed here because we had such good memories of an earlier stay; had we known what to expect we would have driven on to our destination in Portugal. A great shame because in all other respects this Parador is very good with an outstanding location (see separate report)"
