Medieval romance
Located near the city of Salamanca and Spain's border with Portugal, Ciudad Rodrigo is a delightful medieval city that has been designated as an Area of Artistic-Historical Importance by the Spanish Government due to its exceptional collection of Roman and medieval architecture - surroundings that allow visitors to feel as if they've stepped back in time and straight into a storybook.
Parador Ciudad Rodrigo is the ideal setting for a themed wedding
At its epicentre is Parador Ciudad Rodrigo, a 14th century castle that provides spectacular views of the surrounding landscape, and which was originally built by King Henry II of Castile and León, founder of the powerful Trastámara dynasty. With its epic proportions, elegant stone arcade and vast halls, the Parador is an ideal spot for hosting a themed wedding, where guests will no doubt be delighted by the authentic, historical atmosphere. The wedding banquet, meanwhile, can be composed of all variety of regional staples, including scrumptious Salamanca charcuterie, young Morucha beef, as well as other classics from the Parador's Restaurante Río Águeda.
For an especially wonderful affair, the happy couple may well consider staying in the Parador's most unique room, the exquisitely elegant Doña Leonor de Trastámara bedroom, which features a 5-metre high vault and is named in honour of the legendary Castilian infanta.
