Parador de Olite

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Olite, surrounded by agricultural lands and vineyards, is known as the “Gothic city,” and you see why as the massive 15th-century fortress of Charles III, the Palacio Real de Olite, dominates the town. It has been restored to a semblance of its former glory. Visit royal bedchambers, grand halls, and climb the battlements for excellent views of the delightful old streets of the town. Part of the castle is the magnificent Parador de Olite. Just beside the parador is the 13^th century former royal chapel, Iglesia de Santa Maria la Real, with its carved Gothic portal. Among the town’s old streets you’ll find several wine bodegas.
