Coracera Castle

San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Spain

Coracera castle was built by Álvaro de Luna in the 15th century, as a residence and hunting lodge.

Really nice castle in a town with lots of history, however a shame that the access to the inside has been closed for several years now.

Though technically not a guide, Fernando manning the front desk provided guidance tips and history to bring the experience to life.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
