This is one of the lowest-priced Paradores in Spain: near a beach in Africa and for less than 100 euros.

The Paradores chain has nearly 100 accommodations spread across Spain, both on the Iberian Peninsula and in the Canary Islands, although one of them is located in Portugal and two others in Africa. One of those located across the Strait of Gibraltar is one of the cheapest: the Parador de Melilla, one of the least known, but also one of the best options for a budget-friendly weekend getaway.

This hotel chain's property may not be as renowned as the Paradores hotels built in some of Spain's most fascinating locations, but it's a magnificent hotel for exploring the autonomous city of Melilla. In addition to being nestled in a truly privileged location, the building itself is ideal for a wonderful stay in the northernmost part of the African continent... and all for less than 100 euros a night.

The incredible (and cheap) Parador de Melilla

"Sun and sand in the heart of the Rif region." This is how the Paradores website describes this fantastic three-star hotel located just steps from Melilla la Vieja. Its location high in a valley very close to the airport means that almost every room offers privileged views of the autonomous city, as well as the seafront promenade and the beaches bathed by the Alboran Sea. Furthermore, its outdoor pool is a true oasis in the middle of the city, ideal for cooling off when the heat is on during the summer months.

Its incredible rooms have everything guests need to enjoy a wonderful stay, and the hotel also offers numerous amenities for guests to enjoy, such as a magnificent restaurant where they can sample local cuisine, as well as several lounges and gardens. This makes the Parador de Melilla one of the best options for staying in the city and discovering all the treasures hidden in this North African city.

Furthermore, the Melilla Parador is one of the most affordable, with two guests staying in one of its modern rooms for just 90 euros per night . It's perfect for a short weekend getaway to one of the most underrated places in all of Spain. This magnificent hotel combines comfort and service with a very affordable price, something very difficult to find.
