It
was in 1910 that the government assigned the Marquis de la Vega Inclán
the task of creating a hotel infrastructure-practically non-existent in
Spain at the time-that would house travelers and improve Spain's image
abroad.
In
1926, through the Royal Tourism Commission established in 1911, the
Marquis de la Vega Inclán initiated the establishment of a hotel in the
Gredos Mountains that would make the wonders of the area's landscape
accessible to tourism.
His
Majesty King Alfonso XIII was very enthusiastic about the idea, and he
personally chose the location. Construction began in August of 1926 and
was completed on the evening of October 9th, 1928. The hotel was
inaugurated that same day, and would become the first establishment of
the future Paradores de España Network: The Parador de Gredos.
After
the opening of the Parador de Gredos , the "Board of Paradores and
Inns of Spain" was formed and efforts were channeled into
perfecting the original idea and into making use of selected
historical-artistic monuments and beautiful landscapes for the
establishment of new Paradores.
Successive
Parador openings in Oropesa (Toledo-1930), Úbeda (Jaén-1930), Ciudad
Rodrigo (Salamanca-1931) and Mérida (Badajoz-1933) are clear examples of
how the characteristics of hospitality were harmoniously integrated with
the restoration of castles, palaces and convents, rescuing from ruin and
abandonment monuments representative of Spain's historical and cultural
heritage.
