Deluxe Accommodations in Camino de Santiago

Luxury five star hotel using a monastery which was originally founded in the twelfth century to provide 'lodging for the poor of Christ' making their pilgrimage to Santiago. 

 The San Marcos Monastery, whose construction began in the 16th century, replaced another 12th century monastery from the times of King Alfonso VI. 
Different artists immortalised a yesterday where the strength of his legacy can be seen in stone and wood, making the hotel a living museum. 

The past emerges in the Cloister and Chapterhouse embracing the present with a learned renovation of large rooms. In days gone by these sheltered pilgrims. There are suites located in the original building with views of the square and also an annex constructed in the 20th century where the majority of the accommodation is housed.  Regal halls, spacious rooms, a library and a restaurant which in the main part offers an impeccable traditional gastronomy with touches of signature cuisine; all of which makes the Parador de San Marcos a unique establishment on St. James’s Way and the Silver Way. 

The Pazo of Santa Maria is located in a 35,000 m estate close to the town of Arzúa. The Camino de Santiago north walk passes the boundary of the estate and the French walk is at about 1.500 metres distance.  The Pazo is a noble building documently dated to the beginning of the 18th century.

Restauration began in 2005 taking care and respect in the conservation of this historical heritage, and at the same time, incorporating all modern conveniences required by 21st century citizens.  A peaceful and comfortable envirement has been created inside this magnificent building of thick stone walls and artistic ancient wooden beamed ceilings, combining traditional elements such as the “lareira", (a typical country house Galician fireplace) together with furnishings of these times.  A well tended garden surrounds the building enhancing the beauty of the place.
