Parador de Santo Domingo de la Calzada
The hotel occupies a former 12th-century hospital near the cathedral, erected by St. Dominic to take in pilgrims traveling the Way of St. James. It has a regal, elegant style, with majestic function rooms and a foyer filled with Gothic arches and wooden coffered ceilings.History
Santo Domingo de la Calzada stands beside the banks of the Oja River on a vast plain. The town’s founding is linked to the branch of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela known as the French Route. Legend has it that in the 11th century, this location was a large holm oak forest on the banks of a tumultuous river that descended from the nearby mountains, now known as the Sierra de la Demanda. A hermit named Domingo took up residence in the heart of the forest, dedicating all his energy to making it easier for pilgrims traveling to Compostela to cross this difficult terrain.
Today you can enjoy the town by visiting sights such as the cathedral or Plaza de España (Spain Square) and savoring La Rioja’s delicious cuisine.
