From 01/03/2025 until 30/04/2026The spectacular castle of the Álvarez family of Toledo, counts of Oropesa, was converted into a Parador in 1930 and so became the first to be established in a historical building. Built on top of a hill, it has exceptional views of the la Sierra de Gredos.
Here you will travel back in time. When you enter the enormous courtyard and discover its large, airy rooms, the salon with splendid Mudejar coffered ceilings, and the traditional décor, you’ll feel like a medieval noble. And like any aristocrat, you’ll have the opportunity to relax in the terrace and outdoor swimming pool, with a beautiful view of the Campo Arañuelo in the background.
The Parador de Oropesa gets its name from the town’s most important noble, Francisco Álvarez de Toledo y Figueroa, who was appointed as the fifth viceroy of Peru by king Felipe II between 1569 and 1581 and accompanied Carlos I on his campaigns in Africa and Europe.
The building consists of the Castillo Viejo, a Moorish castle of the 12-13th c., and the Castillo Nuevo, built in 1402 as the palace of the Álvarez family of Toledo, counts of Oropesa. El conjunto is notable for its 16th c. stairway and the impressive keep, 25 metres in height and with 5 storeys.

And if you’re seeking a truly authentic experience, you shouldn’t miss the routes of the embroidery of Lagartera and the pottery of Puente del Arzobispo and discover the crafts of the region.
The town’s Medieval past can be seen in the layout of its narrow, cobbled streets.
