Did You Know? The Parador de Carmona, nestled just outside Seville, is a 14th-century Moorish fortress transformed into a luxurious retreat.

Originally built during the Muslim rule of Spain, this incredible parador boasts grand arches, intricate tile-work, and serene courtyards that echo the charm of Andalusian history.

The fortress sits atop a hill, providing stunning panoramic views of the Guadalquivir River and the rolling plains of Carmona - making it feel worlds away from modern life, yet only a short drive from the bustling streets of Seville.

Inside, guests can enjoy fine dining at its on-site restaurant, where dishes are inspired by Andalusian flavors and prepared with local ingredients, all served against the backdrop of ancient stone walls and vaulted ceilings.

Imagine sipping a glass of local wine under the stars in the courtyard, where warriors once stood guard. Staying at Parador de Carmona isn’t just a night’s rest - it’s a step back in time, a journey through centuries of history and architecture that will linger long after your stay.
