Parador de Salamanca

The Parador de Salamanca is a modern building on the Teso de la Feria, on the left bank of the Tormes, directly facing the old town. What sets it apart is the view: its windows look onto the cathedrals and the Clerecía, which can also be seen from the pool and the garden. It stands at the start of the city's southern exit, so you can arrive by car without going into the centre.

Closed until 15 June 2027

First things first: according to its website, the Parador is closed from 1 December 2026 to 15 June 2027. If you are travelling on those dates, look for other accommodation; outside them, book on the Paradores website.

Across the river

The centre is a walk away: you cross the Roman Bridge or the Enrique Estevan bridge and climb to the cathedrals in about twenty minutes; the Plaza Mayor is a little further. You get here by the A-66 from Zamora and the south, by the A-50 from Madrid and by the A-62 from Valladolid.

Ask for a superior: the view

There are four types of room: standard double, superior double with city views, junior suite and accessible double. If you are coming for the panorama of the cathedrals, the superior is the one that guarantees it. All have air conditioning, television with Chromecast, minibar, a safe with space for a laptop and a hairdryer, and you can order breakfast or room service.

Pool, garden and sauna

The garden has a seasonal outdoor pool with a view of the city. Inside there is a sauna and a wellness area with separate conditions and prices, as well as a convention centre.

Car and bike

Free outdoor parking and a paid garage, an electric car charging point and facilities for cycle tourists. It is the comfortable option if you arrive by car and do not want to drive into the old town.

Eating at the Parador

The restaurant serves Charro cooking, with meats and cured meats from the Salamanca dehesas, spoon dishes and two classics of the province: hornazo and farinato, all with the city as a backdrop. For dinner in the centre, Bambú, next to the Plaza Mayor, does tapas and grilled food.

The surroundings

From the Parador you can easily head to Alba de Tormes, with the basilica of Santa Teresa, and to the Sierra de Béjar.
