This is a beautiful castle built in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a Gothic-mudejar style castle. I could not attend the guided visit, but the exterior is just amazing, surrounded by pine trees. The entrance is free to the first floor of the castle. Do not go on Sundays in the afternoons, it closes at 2.00 p.m. on Sundays.

Recientemente rehabilitado, el Castillo de Tiedra ofrece al visitante la posibilidad de pasear por un edificio militar del siglo XIII. Un castillo de frontera que ha pertenecido a ilustres personajes como Berenguela o la familia Téllez de Meneses. Recorre sus diferentes plantas desde el sótano, en el que hallarás a diferentes personajes ilustres que se encontraron presos en el Castillo por orden de Juan II, hasta el mirador de la azotea donde podrás contemplar unas vistas únicas del campo castellano. Inicialmente, esta fortaleza se levanta para vigilar la frontera entre los reinos de León y Castilla. Tras el divorcio de Alfonso IX y Berenguela, Tiedra y su castillo pasan a formar parte de la corona de Castilla. En el siglo XV, Enrique IV donará el Castillo a Pedro Girón, entrando de esta manera a formar parte de las posesiones de la Casa de Osuna hasta el siglo XIX. Durante el último siglo este emplazamiento fue reconvertido en palomar.

This is an awesome castle in Portillo, Valladolid. It is owned by the University of Valladolid. The entrance fee is just €1. It was built in tge 15th century by the Mendoza family. Later on, it was owned by the Pimentel family. In the 19th century it became property of Pio del Rio Hortega, a famous scientist and researcher. Staff is super nice, they allowed me to visit the museum just at the time it was closing.

We went through Penafiel on a day trip and decided to drive up to the castle. We managed to arrive just before the last tour of the day so joined that instantly. The tour is only offered in Spanish so my partner had to translate for me, but even so it was still worth it. The castle was uniquely narrow and there were some great facts and stories about how it was built and what took place there. You need to be either a Spanish speaker, or with a Spanish speaker though to make the most of this as I would of missed out on so much information had it not been for my partner.
