In the centre of Ferrol, an attractive seafaring city, the Parador resembles a Galician mansion with glazed galleries. The decor is nautical, with world maps and navigational instruments in the common rooms and spaces. The main staircase has an ancient lamp from a boat and the restaurant has maritime. The bedrooms are spacious, in dark and ochre tones, some with viewpoints and balconies that have magnificent views over the port. The restaurant features Galician cuisine with dishes like pulpo a la mugardesa (octopus with potatoes), rape a la coruñesa (Coruña style monkfish) and sopa ferrolana (seafood soup). The typical cake from Ferrol justly heads the dessert menu.
