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 cuisine
of Toledo offers lamb, roast kid, and other specialities such as 'migas
del Arañuelo' (fried breadcrumbs), and 'perdiz escabechada' (partridge).
