LANDSCAPED COUNTRY HOUSE WITH LA MANCHA CHARACTER

This Parador is located in a La Mancha style country house in Manzanares, between three of the most beautiful nature reserves of the country: Cabañeros, the Ruidera Lagoons and the Tablas de Daimiel. Trees, shrubs, gardens and plants fill the space with green, and, along with its swimming pool, make it a very desirable spot in the La Mancha landscape.

The common rooms and bedrooms have wooden furniture, leather chairs and wrought iron wall lights, which contribute to an affable and friendly atmosphere. The most representative dishes of the restaurant are 'migas ruleras' (fried breadcrumbs), 'gachas', (similar to liver pate), 'galianos manchegos' , 'duelos y quebrantos' (egg dish), 'tiznao de bacalao' (cod), 'mojete de conejo' (rabbit with pine nuts) and 'caldereta manchega' (lamb stew).
