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' (fried breadcrumbs), and 'perdiz escabechada' (partridge). Activities nearby include horse riding routes, pheasant hunting and swimming. Located within the monumental area, right in the town centre of Oropesa, it can first be glanced from the Extremadura dual carriageway, the N-V, at Km 148. The Parador is 22 miles from Talavera de la Reina, 20 from Navalmoral de la Mata and 70 miles from Toledo. The ancestral home of the Alvarez 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 Aranuelo, form a very attractive whole.
