Despite the ongoing external renovations at the Parador, the interior remains pristine and welcoming, providing a sense of security during your stay—an outstanding feature of Spanish heritage.
The views are breathtaking. However, the surrounding neighbourhood of the Parador now appears unsafe, primarily due to a significant presence of male immigrants, both legal and undocumented. Those who seem to be outside this group are typically mothers with three to five children of some sort Africa/Central Asia background.
The local people from Tortosa are very friendly and appear to be very distressed/on edge by the large number of invaders.
Talking with locals and law enforcement advised that we should refrain from walking outside the Parador, (old town/historic area), especially at night/in the dark and strongly advised to take a taxi to return to the Parador for safety reasons.
Unfortunately, the Spanish authorities have failed to address the issue of these illegal residents who have turned the nearby historic districts, rich with churches and other notable buildings, into makeshift illegal homes.
I will not return for this reason. Feels very unsafe, and it is quite intimidating.
