River Duero starts in the mountains south of Rioja and flows through Spain into Portugal where it is called Douro. Rueda and Toro are two of the Designations of Origin from the Castilla y León region layed on the banks of the River Duero that is home to many other wine regions spread along its full length. Rueda is home to the much-celebrated Spanish white wine while Toro is the home to one of the most full-bodied red wines of Spain. The proximity of these two regions does not stop them from being so different from one another and in thus, ensuring your travel through their vine lands will be full of adventure.
Situated in-between Toro and Ribera del Duero, Rueda differs from these other two DOs as it focuses on white wine production. Rueda is a region of a plain patchwork of vineyards home to a rare indigenous white grape called Verdejo. Over the centuries this land was fought by the kings of Castile and Aragon, and the countryside is scattered with medieval castles.
Erected on the ruins of the 12th century ancient convent of Sancti Spiritus, the Hotel Castilla Termal Spa of Olmedo is a thermal resort of 4 stars status, comprised by 3 buildings which combine the uniqueness of the ancient Mudejar-Convent with two modern edifices fully integrated.
It has 82 rooms: junior suites, high quality double room, doble, triple and other rooms specially adapted. Also there are 5 multipurpose halls, perfect for hosting events, congresses, celebrations and meetings. The restaurant is specialised in creative cuisine, prepared with the products of the land, besides the cloakroom, winery, library, Internet’s corner, children playroom, outdoor pool, paddle court, private garden and a modern spa.
