Parador De Oropesa
14TH CENTURY CASTLE-PALACE
The ancestral home of the Álvarez family of Toledo, the Counts of Oropesa,
which was a refuge for soldiers, monks and nobles in other times, offers
exceptional panoramic views of the Gredos mountain range. The historical
value of the Keep backing on to the Parador, the columns and arcades of
the courtyard, and the swimming pool, with exceptional views of the flat
lands of the Campo Arañuelo, form a very attractive whole. Lamps, large
chests and curtains dominate the interior decoration, in which the
spaciousness and brightness of the bedrooms and the working and leisure
rooms stands out. Game and seasonal products are characteristic of Oropesa,
where the cooking of Toledo offers lamb, roast kid, and other specialities
such as "migas del Arañuelo" (fried breadcrumbs), and "perdiz escabechada"
(partridge).
