Dramatically watching over Peñafiel, this castle houses the state-of-the-art Museo Provincial del Vino . Telling a comprehensive story of the region's wines, this wonderful museum is informative and entertaining with interactive displays, dioramas, backlit panels and computer terminals. The pleasures of the end product are not neglected: wine tasting costs €7 if you do it solo, €10 with an expert to explain it all. The castle itself, is one of the longest and narrowest in Spain, and also worth exploring
The castle's crenulated walls and towers stretch over 200m, but are little more than 20m across, and were raised and modified over 400 years from the 10th century onwards. The sight of it in the distance alone is worth the effort of getting here.
