Actually, I think the Paradors were set up in 1928, but many of the
buildings are of great age, bought for a song by the state when Spain was
impoverished. There are cheaper (and perfectly good) hotels, but the
slight premium you pay for a Parador is well worth it in my opinion. So I
second the suggestion.
Spain is still pretty hot in September. I should avoid the temptation to
try and do too much.

Paradores are a state owned chain since the 17th (or so) century. See
<www.parador.es/english/index.jsp> As they have been in business a
while, they tend to be situated in interesting builings. Some are _very_
lavish (the one in Santiago is in a former Royal Palace, and it shows),
some less so. I'd definately look into them.
