In the field of tourism and of the planning urban, the parador is a typical element of certain types of cities or urban spaces that are close to the sea. We understand parador as that space (which can be both public and private) that is located on the beach or in the vicinity of a course of Water and where different services and possibilities are offered to tourists to enjoy their experience to the max.
As seen in the picture, Paradores are spaces that are located on the beaches or near the sea so that the people who attend there for tourist purposes of entertainment or relaxation they can access certain services to improve their experience vacation. The paradores have that name because the first paradores were just stops along the way so that the people who went to certain tourist destinations could find some services or products necessary. Today, the word is related more than anything to those spaces that are located on the beaches and that are very varied in terms of what they offer.
In general, the paradors have a main service of gastronomy which can range from juices and smoothies to fairly advanced restaurant replicas. Other paradores offer services related to leisure and recreation such as pools (heated or not), space for artists and musicians, games for kids and even models of bowling alleys and dance halls that are put into use mainly at night.
At present, most of the paradors are of the private type, which means that the government of the region rents the space for a certain time to private entrepreneurs so that they organize their business there and form their establishment. However, many other paradores are public, which means that it is the same government that controls and organizes them and that their entry is free.
