Parador de Monforte de Lemos

The Parador of Monforte de Lemos is a unique destination for cyclists, set atop the town within the historic complex of San Vicente do Pino. Housed in the former Monastery of San Vicente and the Palace of the Counts of Lemos, alongside the medieval keep, the Parador offers an exceptional blend of heritage and comfort. Its rooms are arranged around a majestic neoclassical cloister, and the common areas occupy the elegant halls of the old palace. From the outdoor pool, located on a hilltop, guests enjoy breathtaking views over the Ribeira Sacra, a region known for its natural beauty and winding cycling routes.

Cyclists will find everything they need for a smooth and secure stay. The Parador includes a dedicated cycling center with secure storage, maintenance equipment and a fully equipped tool bench for repairs and adjustments. After a day of riding through the hills and vineyards of Galicia, guests can relax in the gym, unwind in the jacuzzi or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the cloister and gardens.

The building itself is a monument to centuries of history, with origins dating back to the ninth century. Its current structure, built between 1626 and 1802, combines baroque and neoclassical styles, with gothic and renaissance elements that reflect its long and layered past. Staying at the Parador of Monforte de Lemos means immersing yourself in a place where architecture, landscape and cycling come together in perfect harmony.
