July 23rd, 2010

Lorna Roberts, is the official Irish & UK representative for the Spanish Parador hotels. This is a group of 93 state owned hotels all over Spain, many of which are in historic buildings – castles, palaces, convents etc. Others are in nature reserves, Medieval villages and in idyllic coastal locations away from the resorts.

Lorna held an “OPEN HOUSE” here in Ballyconneely at BARR AN BHAILE (on the road to the Connemara Golf Club) to hear more about Paradores and to enjoy some of the products from the CONNEMARA SMOKEHOUSE and some wine from MARQUES de CACERES in La Rioja. It was a wonderful success for the first of two events held by Lorna Roberts this summer,  over 30 people by the end of the night. Everyone were like busy bees, buzzing around Barr an Bhaile finding out information for the competition Lorna was holding.

The Paradores have many SPECIAL OFFERS & PROMOTIONS.

They are affordable and are also a wonderful romantic settings for Honeymoons and Weddings or simply just to relax.

Lorna can check out the best deals available and help with route planning for those doing a fly drive holiday. She also accompanies small groups traveling around the Paradores.
