The four star Parador de Chinchon was originally the Augustinian Convent of St Mary of Paradise founded by the Lords of Chinchón in the 17th century. It is situated in the old quarter of Chinchon and forms part of Plaza Mayor which is full of bars and restaurants. The Parador de Chinchon is surrounded by cypress trees, rose bushes, a fountain and cloisters with an outdoor swimming pool.
The building was extensively restored and finally opened as a Parador in 1982 when the original cloisters were enclosed in glass looking on to a courtyard with a fountain and roses.
The quiet and spacious bedrooms overlook the gardens. There are 36 twin bedded rooms and 2 suites which have a private bathroom, telephone, satellite television, safe, air conditioning and a mini bar.
The restaurant is decorated with old Spanish tiles and offers local cuisine including 'sopa de ajo' (garlic soup), suckling pig and roast lamb and the typical 'cocido madrileño' (Madrid-style garbanzo bean stew).
When not being used for bullfights, Plaza Grand is dominated by the parish church where the brother of Goya was the Parish Priest. It is believed that the altar was decorated by the great artist. It is full of pavement cafes where many people drink the locally produce aniseed aperitif and Felipe V was proclaimed King of Spain there at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession.
