The president of Paradores, Raquel Sánchez, shared that each euro generated by the public hotel network has an impact of €2.60 on the local economy. Speaking at a forum, she underlined the positive role of the chain in rural and inland Spain. The network helps showcase the country’s cultural and heritage diversity while supporting communities beyond major tourist centres.
Roughly 70pc of the 99 Paradores in operation are located in smaller municipalities with fewer than 35,000 residents. By positioning luxury accommodations where private hotel investments are usually restricted, they actively combat rural depopulation. Paradores systematically prioritises regional suppliers, local artisanal producers and traditional gastronomy.
The network closed its summer 2026 season with record-breaking revenue exceeding €80m across July and August. Network occupancy averaged 86.1pc, peaking at 90.8pc in August. Approximately 295,000 rooms were occupied, up 11,000 compared to 2025. The network served 400,000 restaurant meals, boosting regional food supply chains.
