Oropesa
This 15th-century castle dominates this modest Toledo province village — built in 1402 as the seat of the Toledo noble family, it was converted into a Parador Nacional in 1930 and remains the town's defining landmark. The castle's former residents include Francisco de Toledo, Count of Oropesa, who served as Viceroy of Peru. Each April the village marks its medieval heritage with "Jornadas Medievales," and the surrounding area offers scenic viewpoints, with mountains and water nearby.
