The Tui Parador® has granite walls and chestnut wood on the floors, ceilings, beams and staircases and is a recreation of the typical Galician country houses.

The comfortable bedrooms are decorated with soft shades and rustic furniture achieving a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. Outside is a splendid swimming pool and a beautiful garden.

The food in the parador® restaurant is a mix of international dishes and Spanish dishes, There is also a special gluten free menu.

Lamprey Tui style.

Parador de Tui - restaurant

Many towns in Galicia have two spellings of their name, One is the Spanish spelling and the other in Gallego,the local language still widely used in Galicia,

Take a walk uphill and visit the cathedral, the churches of San Bartolome, San Francisco, San Telmo and the Bishop's palace.

Cross the Mino river and the border to Portugal to visit the near-by walled city of Valenca do Minho. The fort was built to repel the Spanish but nowadays the shop owners like to relieve them of their Euros,

The festivals of Tui worth visiting are Carnival on Shrove Tuesday, San Thelmo's day on Easter Sunday and the Tui Eel festival on the: 1st Sunday after Easter. In August there is the international canoeing descent of the Mino river.

If you don't enjoy staying at the Parador in Tui, you are unwell. Seek help.

Lovely place and great staff but watch out for that clock across the river. Chimes and plays tinny music every quarter of an hour throughout the night and spoiled our night's sleep. If possible, try and get a room away from the river.

Subject to the caveat below, we enjoyed our stay at this parador. The food was good and the staff were friendly. The views across the river are stunning. Tui is a lovely town and a great place to wander around and explore. The cathedral is well worth a visit. But, and it's a big but, we did not sleep at all well. The foor boards in the room above were also our ceiling and as there appeared to be no carpets we could hear every footfall only too clearly! The family (there were several of them) went to bed late and noisily. In addition the clock in the church across the river struck noisily every quarter of an hour throughout the night and as it's in Portugal, it was on a different time to ours! For these reasons we would not stay here again.

What wonderful culture, cuisine, hospitality, comportment, manners, views, the list goes on. A really great stay had by all, thank you so much. So often one goes away on holiday and is disappointed by something; we were truly happy with everything and relish our return.
