Oropesa
Visiting and discovering Oropesa is travelling to a medieval town spotted with monumental buildings such as convents, churches and palaces. Its powerful castle, of a defiant appearance, confronts us from the motorway linking Madrid and Extremadura. The castle is now a Parador (state-run hotel) and it is a majestic addition to a village preserving and proudly showing the wealth of its monuments and landscapes. Each year in April, Oropesa dresses up in medieval costume to celebrate its Medieval Festivals. Would you like to take part?

Location
Access to Oropesa could not be better as it is located on the A-5 Motorway to Extremadura, reaching the limits of the Region of Castilla-La Mancha, on the borders of neighbouring Extremadura.
