History and bullfighting passion

Madrid is tradition

Memories of Pedro Romero, the perfect setting, world-renowned, craftsmanship, unique winery. The most precious nectar coveted by outstanding chefs, centuries-old limited production. A secret of warehousing origin, now transformed into the most exclusive luxury. 

Palacio de Sancti Petri Gran Meliá

Sybarite

Tradition sustained between families, Roman legacy, the art and experience of age-old fishing, sophisticated palates and a journey to fusion cuisine. The most generous coast.

Talk to me about the sea

Bandits and trebuchets, winding roads, infinite beauty on the summits, where Washington Irving conceived the ideal resting place from everyday life. Honeysuckles, rosemary, thyme, and guitars accompany the slow and simple life of its people. Root, tradition, time. Grandparents, white sheets in the wind, the squeal of the eagles, the silence, Tragabuches.
