Opening Hours
The refuge of Carlos V
The Parador de Jarandilla de la Vera occupies the old castle-palace of the Counts of Oropesa. It dates to the 16th c. and still conserves its ditch and towered walls, along with an exceptional two-floored Gothic gallery in the interior patio.
The castle was the residence of its most illustrious guest between 1556 and 1557. It was selected as a refuge by the emperor Carlos V after he abdicated, and he lived here for several months before finally setting up home in the nearby monastery of Yuste.
