Spain and Portugal are rich in old historic buildings and many are owned by the state. In both countries, some of these have been converted into high class hotels.

There are also modern hotels in unspoilt areas of outstanding beauty which have been built in the style and with the materials of the region. .

Such hotels include the five star de luxe Paradors at Leon and Santiago do Compostela or the less expensive Parador at Ronda in Andalucia
