Real shot: fright night, a Spanish Millennium castle, seems to have crossed into medieval Europe.

Everyone has a castle dream in his heart.

A princess, prince, knight or witch who can fly with a broom.

But let you stay in such an old castle for one night

Do you dare? What kind of experience is it?

Let's talk about Jiang Mumu's personal experience.

About 1 hour drive from Barcelona, there is a beautiful town called Cardona. There is a 9th-century castle in the town, overlooking the ancient city below. How many people were shocked by the photos of this castle and did not hesitate to punch in Wan Li.

In 20 19, when Jiang Mumu traveled to Spain, he drove for more than an hour and came to this hilltop castle 95km away from Barcelona. This is a real Millennium castle.

I have to say that movies are really the best way to publicize. Gradually, people's impression of the castle is closely linked with vampires, witches and ghosts. In fact, many of them have been used for other purposes thousands of years later. Now this castle has been transformed into a hotel: Parador de Cardona Hotel, also known as Cardona Hotel.

The car slowly circled the winding mountain road leading to the castle and arrived at the hotel at sunset. At first glance, it feels like an imaginary castle. Entering the hotel seems to immediately cross into medieval Europe.

The interior decoration is highly consistent with the hotel's long-standing medieval style, with arched ceilings, stone walls and gorgeous courtyards in the castle.

The room is not big, and all the furniture and furnishings conform to the temperament of the castle. Charming bedspread and Gothic features, the furniture design is inspired by the medieval style of Catalonia. Looking out of the window, I feel that I am in a city of the sky.

This restaurant is said to be a medieval restaurant. It was once tailor-made for the king, and now it offers fresh local specialties with authentic Catalan flavor. It gives me a sense of sight of Hogwarts. I like eating here very much, just like tasting medieval food, and I can't help but have a court style.

Go out and have a good look at the whole building while it's getting late.

The castle looks very big, and it's easy to get lost when walking in it, especially the elevators and aisles on each floor are exactly the same, and it takes several detours to walk back to the room. Fortunately, I took a map of the hotel at the front desk when I checked in, so it is clear that there are only a dozen rooms in such a big castle.

Cardona Castle Hotel is full of exquisite Gothic elements. It is said that there is a 7 12 room in the hotel, where supernatural phenomena, ghosts or witches have occurred, so unless someone explicitly requests to live in this room, the doors are generally closed. I looked around on the map and didn't see any room marked 7 12. Perhaps it is such a legend that cast a mysterious veil on this old castle.

There is also a large area behind the castle, and the interior is not open to the public. I don't know what it is for. Sunset national territory, sunset, shadow, castle quiet and luxurious.

Cardona Castle Hotel has a tower, which can be climbed 360 degrees. Touch the brick wall of this castle, and you can feel its ancient and typical Roman Gothic architecture.

Standing on the top of the hill next to the medieval town of Cardona, you can get a glimpse of Catalonia's rural scenery. Of all the hotel chains in Paradol, perhaps only this castle in the hinterland of Jiatai Mountain can give you a feeling of returning to the Middle Ages immediately. This noble castle was also the last one that Philip V conquered.

Looking out from the medieval stone doors and windows in Europe, overlooking the beautiful scenery of cardona and listening to the sound of tourists playing under the stone windows, you will feel back to the busy life scene of medieval aristocrats for a time.

Is this the distant era of Don Quixote?

The luxurious and retro castle satisfies the childhood castle dream, which is also a unique experience. Walking in a dark castle, do you feel like a ghost? My shadow is blurred under the street lamp.

The hotel here is not a "hotel" or a "guest house", but a "Paradol". Paradol is a stop in Spanish. In Spain, the government established the Castle Hotel Alliance, which is a state-owned castle hotel chain.

The concept of "state-run castle hotel" can be traced back to one hundred years ago, when the king of Spain went out to look for his own palace. Finally, the king himself chose the site and ordered people to build the first state-run hotel.

Parador is used in Spain or other Spanish-speaking countries to refer to more luxurious hotels. They are usually reconstructed from historic buildings, some are castles, some are medieval monasteries, and some are palaces and mansions of royal nobles. They are usually associated with some historical events or historical figures. These rebuilt hotels usually retain the architectural structure and details of the year. Spain is a model of protecting ancient buildings with tourism.

A European castle built on the top of the mountain was rebuilt. At the foot of the mountain is the noisy historical town of Cardona. The unique Catalan cuisine in the town and the medieval architecture that can be seen everywhere in the town have become excellent places for many travelers to enjoy their holiday time.

Personally, I think it is compulsory to stay at least one night in Parado's Castle Hotel when coming to Spain! Jiang Mumu lived in three Prados during his Spanish trip: Barcelona, Cardona, Long Da and Merida, each with its own characteristics. (Long Da's house is in the landmark position outside Longda Bridge)

At present, * * * has 95 Paradol hotels. Facing the chain hotels separated by a wall, I stayed in 3 hotels, which was very satisfying. Another feature of living in Paradol is that many hotels will provide topographic maps of hotels, because the place is too big.

People often say: "A European history is half a castle", and the castle is also a witness to the past of European history.

Hotel, once just a space for tourists to have a short rest or sleep, has now evolved into a hot punching place for network celebrities in every city with the designer's "brain hole wide open" design!

Are you interested in seeing this place, too If it were you, would you dare to enter?
