Description

In the main plaza, before the Town Hall of Pedro Bautista, name of the Spaniard martyred in Japan, this old grocery store that once supplied imported goods from the colonies shines above from the rest of the houses thanks to the renovation carried out by Almudena García Drake. From the outside, striking shone walls shine; and inside, original wooden beams and awe-inspiring coffered ceiling. A 19th century bodega occupying a cave serves wine at its peak. An arched doorway separates the dinning room displaying an old cabinet with a small summer patio where strings of peppers hang, from an small inviting sitting room next to the austere reception area. The rest has to do with the bedrooms, which unite ceramic tile floors and wrought iron bedposts. With the changing times, the technology hurricane reaches Esteban del Valle. The capricious automated systems in a couple of rooms are intolerably enticing. To enter and sleep in on of these rooms is to return to city comforts couple of hours. But, it’s still Gredos. Rooms with technological amenities? A grocery selling products of the colonies? Ask the critic Fernando Gallardo to bring you up to date.

Our Critic review

ROOMS WE RECOMMEND:

The best rooms peek out onto the plaza through delicately outlined balconies, almost anonymously with a prudent curiosity respectful of the simplicity of the stone façade. Inside: ceramic tile floors, wrought iron canopy beds with chiffon over them, baroque lamps, paintings with minor signatures and ineffable closets used by the grandmother for her clothing. A plate full of fruits and a basket of chocolates evoke those late-night family gatherings of days past with knitting and stories.


EATING:

The inn serves basic home-style breakfasts and dinners.


SURROUNDINGS:

In the Tiétar Valley, near Cinco Villas Ravine, heading south from Gredos Mountains, the town of Mombeltrán appears off in the distanced. This settlement is crowned by the Dukes of Alburquerque Castle, a solitary 15th century construction. No further away are the Águila caves, full of stalagmites and stalactites. To the north, the Roman road leads to the Puerto del Pico, a lookout point offering pleasurable panoramic views of the mountains and there is also a refreshing water fountain. The route continues through to the Galayos and stone buttresses of the Gredos, home to mountain goats, golden vultures and royal eagles, and one of the most valued natural areas in the Iberian Peninsula. Returning to san Esteban del Valle, it’s worth stopping for a glass of homemade wine in any of the bars and savoring a typical desert made with ground walnuts.
