Easy. Pedraza is a very old town that was declared a historic site in 1951. Its name comes from Latin, from the word \u201cpetra,\u201d which means \u201cstone\u201d or \u201crock.\u201d And this makes sense because the town is built on a large rock, making it an important and easily defensible place for centuries.<\/p><p>The first castle, built in the Romanesque style, was constructed in the 13th century by Fern\u00e1n Garc\u00eda de Hita, an important name in Castile.<\/p><p>But\u2026 the Herrera and Fern\u00e1ndez de Velasco families rebuilt it in the 15th and 16th centuries, turning it into the castle we see today. These two families are quite important in the history of the castle. Check this out:<\/p><p>The Herreras were the first to use the castle as a fortress to defend the region, and later, the Fern\u00e1ndez de Velasco family turned it into a symbol of power and prestige. Castles went from being places of defense to becoming elegant residences for nobles, or in other words, the rich. Why was Pedraza so important?<\/p><p>Well, because many wealthy nobles and merchants of merino wool (which was exported to the Netherlands to make tapestries) settled there. So\u2026 Pedraza was a center of power, economy, and administration in the country. It\u2019s like a living museum of those times of splendor. But, over time, sheep farming lost its importance, the feudal system disappeared, and so the castle lost its splendor. It ended up being abandoned until 1926, when the painter Ignacio Zuloaga bought it for 13,000 pesetas (78 euros) and restored it, turning it into his painting studio and home.<\/p><p>Did you know?\u2026 One of the most famous events in Pedraza is the \u201cNight of the Candles,\u201d in July. During this night, all the electric lights in the town are turned off, and thousands of candles light up the streets and squares, creating a magical atmosphere.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ca27f4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2ca27f4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8751a32 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8751a32\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71c52bd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"71c52bd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-139d53a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"139d53a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4-LAMURALLA.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-46\" alt=\"The Wall pedraza castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4-LAMURALLA.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4-LAMURALLA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4-LAMURALLA-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20d9d70 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"20d9d70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5302a78 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5302a78\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5cfbae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5cfbae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1B.

However, if you look closely, you can see the marks of ancient projectiles, like stones from catapults, cannonballs, and shots from old weapons like muskets. If you look carefully, you can try to spot these marks on the castle\u2019s facade.<\/p><p>Remember that during the War of Independence against Napoleon, French troops invaded much of Spain, and many fortified towns like Pedraza suffered damage.<\/p><p>Even so, projectiles were not the worst. The most significant damage the castle suffered was when it was abandoned, and locals took stones and other materials to build their own houses. It is believed that the keep lost about five meters in height, and in some parts of the wall, up to two or three meters of stone are missing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b11f8d4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b11f8d4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-606ddce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"606ddce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccac6e4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ccac6e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53b3ebe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"53b3ebe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A6-PUERTA-ESCAPATORIA.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-50\" alt=\"Escape Door\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A6-PUERTA-ESCAPATORIA.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A6-PUERTA-ESCAPATORIA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A6-PUERTA-ESCAPATORIA-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f1e439 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4f1e439\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-038e4c3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"038e4c3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fcdbc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8fcdbc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

In Pedraza, the portcullis was located in the Romanesque arch of this passage. Although it disappeared centuries ago, you can still see marks of where it was. This door, also known as a grille, was essential for the defense of medieval castles. It was made of iron and could be dropped quickly to block enemies in case of a surprise attack.<\/p><p>It was the last barrier before reaching the castle\u2019s interior, a real trap for invaders. Even if the attackers managed to break through the main gate, they would find themselves stuck in this passageway, facing the defenders.<\/p><p>When you exit the passageway and reach the bailey, you\u2019ll notice that the construction changes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c577611 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c577611\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6b5046 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a6b5046\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2db5cc7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2db5cc7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd293e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cd293e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A10-PATIO-DE-ARMAS.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-55\" alt=\"The Bailey\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A10-PATIO-DE-ARMAS.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A10-PATIO-DE-ARMAS-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A10-PATIO-DE-ARMAS-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cc4d2f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3cc4d2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93ef614 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"93ef614\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44766a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"44766a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

The bailey was the heart of the castle, where everything happened. Soldiers were trained here, and social events took place. It used to be smaller, and there were other structures like rooms, stables, and storerooms, but all of them were destroyed in a fire.<\/p><p>When Ignacio Zuloaga, a famous Spanish painter known for his portraits and landscapes that depicted Spanish life and culture, bought the castle in 1926, it was in ruins. Fire had destroyed several parts of the castle, and many stones and structural elements were missing. Zuloaga restored it, rehabilitated the towers, and used the space between them to build his studio and family residence. He also converted part of the space into gardens.

At the time, Pedraza had about 1,500 inhabitants, but when the painter discovered the town, there were only 45 residents left. Almost all the houses of the former nobles were abandoned and in decay.<\/p><p>When in 1925 Ignacio Zuloaga acquired the medieval fortress of Pedraza, the first thing he did was to stop the spoliation and deterioration it was suffering.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76bfadb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76bfadb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4291ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d4291ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdda08d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cdda08d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6711dee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6711dee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17-SALA-ZULOAGA.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-33\" alt=\"Zuloaga Hall Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17-SALA-ZULOAGA.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17-SALA-ZULOAGA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17-SALA-ZULOAGA-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b9e7a1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9b9e7a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca0e294 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ca0e294\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb9b4f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb9b4f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">9.

A very well known and the most used banknote! 191 million copies were made. It was the penultimate peseta to be issued on paper.<\/p><p>On the front of the banknote there is a portrait of Don Quixote de la Mancha, and on the back we see representative elements of the ingenious nobleman: helmet, lance, shield, coat of arms and books. These drawings were also made by Zuloaga.<\/p><p>Did you know that these drawings were made by Zuloaga as a commission for a set design for an opera?<\/p><p>Let me tell you: we go back to 1918. This is the beautiful story of three friends. Winnaretta Singer, Manuel de Falla and Zuloaga. Let me put you in the picture:<\/p><p>Who was Winnaretta Singer, does the surname \u201cSinger\u201d ring a bell?<\/p><p>Winnaretta Singer was born in New York in 1865, heiress of the famous sewing machine company Singer Corporation, so you can imagine, she was a multimillionaire.<\/p><p>She married Prince Louis de Scey-Montv\u00e9liard at a very young age, because Winnaretta sought above all else the freedom that only an arranged marriage could give her. However, everyone knew that she was a lesbian, which she did not hide at all, and the Catholic Church decided to annul her marriage.<\/p><p>But Winnaretta married again and very quickly, with prince Edmond de Polignac, and why did she marry being a lesbian? Very easy, because Edmond was also homosexual and 30 years older than her. Of course, they had no children, but they were very good friends and together they managed to bring all the art and culture of the world to the city of Paris. She became a great patron, something like a patron of the time, and invested all her fortune in helping artists and subsidizing works.\u00a0 This is how she met the best musicians of her time, among them Manuel de Falla.<\/p><p>Did you know that Winnaretta also had relations with many married women? Famously, the husband of one of her lovers shouted at the door of her mansion \u201cIf you are half the man you think you are, come outside and fight with me\u201d.<\/p><p>Winnaretta called Manuel de Falla and proposed to compose a chamber opera. Falla composed the opera, based on chapter 26 of the second part of Don Quixote. It consisted of a scene in which some puppeteers are representing a plot and Don Quixote, who as we already know confused fiction with reality, unsheathes his sword and starts beating the theater and the puppets.<\/p><p>Surely the title of this play is familiar to you, it was called \u201cEl retablo de Maese Pedro\u201d.<\/p><p>Did you know that it took Falla more than 5 years to write it?<\/p><p>And what has Zuloaga to do with all this?<\/p><p>Manuel de Falla and Ignacio Zuloaga admired each other as artists. they became close friends and this friendship encouraged them to work together on a great project in which both artists directed the music and the stage. Falla was in charge of the music and Zuloaga of the scenography. You can imagine what this great project was, yes, El retablo de maese Pedro\u201d.<\/p><p>Well, Zuloaga made a lot of sketches, concretely, the drawing of Don Quixote that appears with the famous barber\u2019s empty is the one that appears on the 1951 peseta banknote.<\/p><p>In this way, the 1 peseta bill paid a triple homage to Spanish artists: on the one hand to Cervantes, on the other hand to Zuloaga and indirectly to Falla, author of the musical work. And all thanks to Winnareta Singer.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bab5c5b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bab5c5b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-193826c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"193826c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f948172 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f948172\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7847073 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7847073\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17F-500-pesetas-de-1954.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-31\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17F-500-pesetas-de-1954.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17F-500-pesetas-de-1954-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17F-500-pesetas-de-1954-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A17F-500-pesetas-de-1954-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fbb87d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6fbb87d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cc1a2d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3cc1a2d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1432a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a1432a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">9C. 500 pesetas of 1954<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a724a4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8a724a4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf7d063 elementor-widget elementor-widget-mdp-audier-elementor\" data-id=\"bf7d063\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"mdp-audier-elementor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Start Audier for Elementor WordPress Plugin -->\n                    <div \n                        class=\"mdp-audier-elementor-box mdp-audier-elementor-not-playlist\"\n                        data-controls=\"[&quot;playpause&quot;,&quot;current&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;]\"\n                        data-player-bool-settings=\"{&quot;enableKeyboard&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pauseOtherPlayers&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;hideVolumeOnTouchDevices&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\"\n                        data-player-settings=\"{&quot;audioVolume&quot;:&quot;horizontal&quot;,&quot;startVolume&quot;:0.8}\"\n                        data-source=\"self-hosted\"\n                        data-shuffle-by-default=\"\"\n                    ><div class=\"mdp-audier-elementor-audio-wrapper\">\n                        <audio  width=\"100%\" >\n                            <source src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/17.-Quinientas-Pesetas.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\n                        <\/audio>\n                    <\/div><\/div>\n                   <!-- End Audier for Elementor WordPress Plugin -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2d0d7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"e2d0d7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Not only to his work, but to the person himself.<\/p><p>On the front of the banknote is his self-portrait that he painted in 1942 when he was 72 years old. In fact, it is the last of the self-portraits he painted and the best known of all. It is called \u201cSelf-portrait with blue background\u201d and critics say it is magnificent.<\/p><p>In the complete painting he appears with his painter\u2019s brushes, with a vest, shirt, jacket and beret, giving a natural image of the country painter, close to the people, but at the same time dignified and with an intense look.<\/p><p>This self-portrait also appeared on the 1971 two-peseta stamps. And to this day, the original work is kept in the Zuloaga Foundation.<\/p><p>On the back of the banknote, you can see another work by Zuloaga that he painted in 1932: \u201cPaisaje claro de Toledo\u201d (Clear Landscape of Toledo).<\/p><p>To give you an idea, Toledo was not just any city for Zuloaga, he painted it up to six times between 1924 and 1938.<\/p><p>It is not strange that a Castilian landscape was chosen for this bill instead of a Basque one, which is where he was from, because the painter was also a lover of Castile, something he had in common with other artists of the generation of \u201998.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

This banknote is a total homage to his great friend Manuel de Falla.<\/p><p>On the front there is a portrait of him and on the back an image of the Alhambra in Granada, a city that is closely linked to Falla because although he was not born there, he did live in Granada for a long time.<\/p><p>The last time they saw each other was in 1932 in Zumaya, in Zuloaga\u2019s house. It was there that he painted the well-known portrait of him.<\/p><p>In that work he is seen as a mature, elderly, and half sick person. Granada also appears. So this was the portrait that was used to represent Falla in this 1970 banknote, which apart from paying homage to Falla, also pays homage to the friendship he had with Zuloaga.<\/p><p>It has also been used on several Spanish stamps several times.<\/p><p>Manuel de Falla finally emigrated to Argentina in 1939, where he died on November 14, 1946 of tuberculosis, at the age of 69. He died almost a year after Zuloaga died in Madrid, on October 31, 1945.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c59f722 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c59f722\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7d2929 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c7d2929\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fa5e8c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1fa5e8c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9e8bcb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b9e8bcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A18-TORRE-HOMENAJE.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34\" alt=\"The Keep Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A18-TORRE-HOMENAJE.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A18-TORRE-HOMENAJE-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A18-TORRE-HOMENAJE-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ab7ec6 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6ab7ec6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4059cb1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4059cb1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4649cb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4649cb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">10.

In 1529, two sons of the King of France, Francis I, were held in the tower of Pedraza Castle. This was to ensure that their father kept the agreement he made with Emperor Charles V after being captured at the Battle of Pavia in 1525. Francis I had promised to give up lands to Spain in exchange for his freedom, but as a guarantee, he left his sons, Henry (7 years old) and Charles of Orleans (4 years old), as hostages.<\/p><p>The children were imprisoned in Pedraza until 1530 when they were released following a new agreement between France and Spain. It is said that they lived in difficult conditions during their time in the castle: poorly dressed, in a dark, cold room, with only a few puppies to entertain them. This story has been passed down through generations, and it is said that, as revenge, Napoleon\u2019s troops burned the castle centuries later.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39bd195 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"39bd195\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b82e96 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7b82e96\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d287e56 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d287e56\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-511e77d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"511e77d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A22-PATIO-DE-LA-IGLESIA.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-37\" alt=\"The church courtyard Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A22-PATIO-DE-LA-IGLESIA.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A22-PATIO-DE-LA-IGLESIA-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A22-PATIO-DE-LA-IGLESIA-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00095d0 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"00095d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-276ea31 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"276ea31\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-283a1df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"283a1df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">13.

It is said that a nobleman named Don Sancho became infatuated with a beautiful commoner named Elvira, whom he married by exercising his feudal right. But\u2026 she was in love with Roberto, a young farmer who, heartbroken by the wedding, entered a monastery and became a monk.<\/p><p>Years later, after the death of the castle chaplain (the priest responsible for religious services in the castle), the former farmer was chosen to take his place. Meanwhile, Sancho had to go to war to help defend Castile from the Almohad invasion.<\/p><p>Elvira and Roberto reunited, and their love rekindled. When Don Sancho learned of the infidelity, he decided to punish Roberto. During a dinner celebration, he ordered a crown of burning thorns to be placed on Roberto\u2019s head, killing him instantly.<\/p><p>Do\u00f1a Elvira, devastated, ran to her chambers, locked herself in, set the tower on fire, and stabbed herself in the heart with a dagger. Legend says that, on some summer nights, the souls of the lovers can be seen walking under a fiery glow.<\/p><p>In the room you will find a magical book. In homage to Elvira and Roberto, these two lovers who lived their love in secret within these walls, we would like you to write in this book, who is your secret love to share it with the protagonists of our legend. Surely this will make them not feel so alone and misunderstood, and who knows\u2026 maybe this will free their souls someday.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91ec03a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91ec03a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5e6a87 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f5e6a87\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a27b65 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8a27b65\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7abd5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c7abd5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A25-EL-MIRADOR.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39\" alt=\"The Lookout Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A25-EL-MIRADOR.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A25-EL-MIRADOR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A25-EL-MIRADOR-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-792e288 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"792e288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da07798 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"da07798\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e5c360 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e5c360\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">15.

From there, you can see the forests and enjoy incredible sunsets over the Sierra de Guadarrama.<\/p><p>Pedraza is located on top of a plateau, 1,060 meters above sea level, so you can imagine how amazing the views are. Around the castle, the fields are mostly used for agriculture and livestock, giving it a rustic and very traditional look.<\/p><p>From the castle, you can feel the cool breeze from the Cega River, which flows near Pedraza. This river, which is part of the Duero River, has helped make the nearby valleys fertile.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The vegetation around Pedraza is typical of the Castilian plateau. There are many trees like old holm oaks, pines, junipers, cypresses, and savins that fill the landscape.

It\u2019s over 500 years old but still standing, thanks to several factors. First, it\u2019s made of black poplar, a very strong wood, full of knots, and almost immune to woodworms when it dries well.<\/p><p>The iron spikes covering the door were handmade, one by one. They served to cushion enemy blows and gave the castle an image of strength. They are secured to a metal plate on the back so they couldn\u2019t be ripped out. Although some are missing, especially at the bottom, many are still there.<\/p><p>The door\u2019s key is the original and is also impressive. It\u2019s made from a single piece of metal and weighs about two kilos. Even though it\u2019s been working for 500 years, its mechanism is very simple: the key itself pushes the bolt. Nowadays, there is a modern copy for security, but it remains a symbol of the castle.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d59e50 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4d59e50\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b54ebc4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b54ebc4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83c79fb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"83c79fb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d367a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d367a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A28-ESCUDO.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-42\" alt=\"Coat of Arms Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A28-ESCUDO.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A28-ESCUDO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A28-ESCUDO-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72131ae elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"72131ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7717fcd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7717fcd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a23f60c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a23f60c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">17.

For example, the Fern\u00e1ndez de Velasco coat of arms shows their wealth, power, and family protection with eight gold pieces representing generosity and seven figures symbolizing nobility and protection. As you walk through Pedraza, you can find more coats of arms from other important families that lived there, such as the Astorga, Osuna, Salcedo, and many others.<\/p><p>Did you know?\u2026 The feudal system was a way of organizing society in the Middle Ages. In this system, the king gave land to nobles (the rich) in exchange for loyalty and military aid. The nobles, in turn, let peasants live and work on their land, but the peasants had to give a portion of what they produced to the noble and were not completely free. In exchange, the nobles offered protection and security.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5559bb7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5559bb7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6bcc63 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f6bcc63\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fefe34a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fefe34a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f57bd82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f57bd82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A29-PUENTE-LEVADIZO.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-43\" alt=\"Drawbridge Pedraza Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A29-PUENTE-LEVADIZO.jpg 800w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A29-PUENTE-LEVADIZO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en-tour.grancastillodepedraza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A29-PUENTE-LEVADIZO-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-396a736 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"396a736\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bcedbf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3bcedbf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9bb2ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a9bb2ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">18.
