Renovation II

Paradores in Spain - New York Times

Cuenca is an ancient city with a 12th-century core. In 1177, Alfonso VIII “liberated” it from the Moors, and the construction of a central cathedral began. While quaint and, occasionally, exquisite, it is like many of the ancient parador locations: a bit far from everything. (Elsewhere in Spain, if you call someone “from Cuenca” it’s akin to saying from “the sticks.”)

Spain also faces renovation issues, but it appears they have more to do with the modernization of historic sites than their deterioration.
