La Palma is not just a context — it is narrative material. The project begins with a clear premise: to reinterpret its landscapes, colours, and symbols in order to give the interior of the Parador a distinctive identity. Just as the exterior architecture draws on elements of the island’s traditional building style, the interior, too, was intended to speak of its geography, its nature, and its insular character.



In contrast to neutral, impersonal spaces, the proposal offers an intervention that breathes La Palma into every corner. An experience in which visitors can feel the island’s presence without ever leaving their rooms, the courtyards, or the communal areas.
