NOBLE STONE PALACE
The Parador occupies a splendid Renaissance palace, from which it
dominates the natural beauty of the Plains of Álava, the Gorbea
mountain range and the Ullibarri Gamboa reservoir. The surroundings
invite you to wander around the small, pleasant village of Argómaniz,
also ideal for enjoying the beautiful natural spaces. The palace,
where Napoleon regained his strength before attacking the town of
Vitoria, boasts the Larrea family coat of arms on the façade
of the building and a wonderful interior atmosphere, with the spacious
living rooms standing out. The rest of the common rooms, floors, furniture,
large chests and other details are enhanced by the charm of its wood,
a noble material which is also present in its unequalled dining room.
It offers traditional recipes, including dishes such as 'perretxikos'
(mushrooms), snails and 'goxua', a sponge cake with cream, whipped
cream and caramel.
