Villas, apartments, houses and self-catering holiday rentals in Castilla y Leon, or Castile and Leon, Spain

Alcazar SpainA land of romantic castles and lofty mountains, Castilla y Leon, or Castile and Leon resounds to the echoes of the great civilisations that have passed through this heartland of Spain. Greeks, Romans and Moors have occupied this land, each culture adding to the architecture and gastronomic heritage. Later, great monasteries were built and imposing cathedrals rose up amongst the medieval streets of the growing towns.

The Sierra de Gredos offers stunning mountain scenery, protected with national park status, where rare wild animals, such as the brown bear, still find refuge. The pure mountain air and solitude of the isolated walking paths attract hikers from all around Europe. For gentler outdoor pursuits, why not play a round of golf on one of Castilla y Leon’s many fine golf courses.

Whilst out enjoying the countryside, try a taste of the high quality wines produced in this region. Many vineyards offer tours and wine tasting. The town of Aranda del Duero is home to the world’s largest collection of subterranean wine cellars. Take a tour to experience the centuries old tradition of wine making.

There are lovely cities to discover in Castilla y Leon. Salamanca is home to Spain’s first university and other lovely medieval buildings. Segovia is the site of a majestic aqueduct, built by the Romans and a lovely fairytale Moorish castle, the Alcazar. The cities streets are lined with fascinating buildings including one of the largest Neo-Gothic cathedrals in Spain.

Food in Castilla y Leon is full of robust flavours. The region produces excellent chorizo sausages and these are combined with potatoes and other meats in tasty stews such as la cachelada. Slowly roasted lamb is also a local specialty.

Visit Castile and Leon in Spain to soak up the centuries of history, culture and enjoy the regional dishes and wines.
