The Beetle has a real soft spot for Spain – great food, good wine, friendly people, wonderful language, easy to get around and fabulous paradores to stay in. A paradore is a government owned hotel, but don’t let that you put you off. Paradores are frequently old converted forts, castles, convents and monasteries – large sized rooms, well appointed, great food! Take a look at: www.parador.es
