INTRODUCTION
This stunning villa is in the middle of a Wildlife Reserve and very near Salamanca (World Heritage City) and Toro (wineries). The house has its own Wine Tasting Room where tastings are done in Spanish or English seeing rose, red and white wines from D.O. Rioja, Toro, Ribera de Duero as well as other wines like French or Californian. Stays are delicious at the house where melodic sound of the fountains spread out from the patio to the house. Connected to a spectacular garden is the first floor with open kitchen and living-room. Sun comes greatly through huge windows. Four double and colorful rooms are at this floor. Loft is on top floor with four beds with kitchen, living-room and bathroom. Organic cleaning products are used and small details make unforgettable our costumer´s stay. The house, the WildLife Reserve, the restaurant “La Malvasía” with stylish cooking, the Wine Tastings, the guided visits to wineries and the nearby jewel city of Salamanca makes from Castronuño a paradise.
THE WILDLIFE RESERVE
Castronuño is in the middle of the WILDLIFE RESERVE for Birds in the Duero River. From the POINTVIEW you can see the sunset; storks, young eagles, lapwings and other birds sing like in a symphony; the river takes lilac and mauve colours and it seems like something is going to break at that time.
From the OBSERVATORY in the Centre for Documentation you can watch birds in the lake. You also can ask for information at the Centre.
Only you have to lie down on the ground, close your eyes and hear the trill of the birds and the light breeze which swings the branches of the black poplars. The direct contact with the earth gets us plenty of an unusual energy and, when you open your eyes and discover the blue sky, you realize that we come from a refreshing journey and, when we get up, it seems like we feel happier.

WINE TOURISM
Castronuño belongs to the Toro route. Toro is a D.O. (The Denominación de Origen, abbreviated D.O., is a prestigious product classification which is awarded to food products such as wines, cheeses, sausages and hams that are produced in designated Spanish regions according to stringent production criteria. D.O. labels serve as a guarantee of quality).
The just opened Enoturismo (Wine Tourism) Office in Valladolid (www.valladolidenoturismo.com) has classified six wine routes, being the Toro route the fourth of them.
We can drive you to visit D.O. Toro, Ribera de Duero and Rueda wineries to see wine elaboration process.
We offer you a guided wine tasting in which ten wines from different varieties and areas will be tasted. First, aromatic and fresh white ones from D.O. Rueda, passing by body red ones from D.O.Toro to finish with gentle sweet Spanish wines. Wine tastings are always a chance for you to initiate into making process wine knowledge as well as sensory analysis. The duration goes from two to three hours and the fees are 15 euros each person.
“LA MALVASÍA” RESTAURANT
“La Malvasía” creates an intimate and avant-garde version of old cookery with slight Atlantic influences that give to the excellent local raw materials –like Pollos and Castronuño cheeses or D.O.Rueda and Toro wines- a touch of distinction.
The menu is a clear proof of it, which is made of good-quality seasonal products, and includes courses like soused duck foie-gras with vegetables, beef carpaccio with mature cheese from Castronuño, zucchini canneloni with blood sausage, duck thigh and Cointreau or Iberian pork with quince or apple dressing.
Desserts are also delicious and we can find proposals like cheese and coffee cake “Vega del Duero” –made of Pollos Cañajeral cheesecake and Padre Evencio liquor from Toro- or “Riberas de Castronuño” ice cream with cheese, honey and pine kernels.
HORSE RIDING
Riding horses is a pleasure. But if any violence is used and we only look for the communication with the animal, we can establish a relationship which develops sensitiveness and personal growing (Integral magazine).
The riding school is placed in the middle of the Reserve. You can ride by the sandy paths in the pine groves, go up crests and distinguish the Reserve and the river.
Riding classes are taught into the riding school and the fees are 6 euros (40 minutes).
The fees for just walking are 12 euros (one hour and 15 minutes).
WALKING
You can walk by La Senda de los Almendros route (The Path of the Almonds) (pictures). This path goes to San José dam, borders the Reserve and goes up to Castronuño drawing a circle.
There is other longer route (GR-14). Call us if you need more information.
There are also other non official routes.

You can visit us to our farm (3 kms from the house) and pick the natural products of our vegetable garden (tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, watercress, peppers, egg plants, lettuces, plumbs, cherries, apples, pears, grapes, nuts, walnuts, melons, watermelons).
You can come to the garden, DO THE SHOPPING AT THE GARDEN and so enjoy seeing your products just reaped or we can SERVE IT TO YOU to the house if you prefer doing anything else (swimming-pool, walking, biking, excursion). (We can set up for you a picnic, for example).
