If you enjoy medieval history and want to see a well restored/preserved castle, check out Peñafiel, located in the town of the same name. Only guided tours are permitted, however the guides are knowledgeable and fun. You'll also find a wine museum here that's informative and interesting. Amazingly, the gift shop offers some magnificent glassware such as wine decanters and glasses that I only wish I could have sent back to the USA. (I didn't because I feared they would not survive intact. Given another chance, I'll find a worthy squire to shepherd them home on his person.)
Anyway, here is a video of my visit:
Impressive, no? All that climbing up the stairs worked up a good appetite, which was squelched with a fine meal just down the road.
