Boutique hotels in Central Spain

A seductive landscape of ancient hamlets, sprawling forests and cosmopolitan cities, central Spain ticks all the right boxes for a restorative break in the countryside. With round-the-clock bars, trendy clubs and inspired art collections, Madrid makes a head-turning base to explore the Spanish heartlands. Beyond the capital, spectacular mountain ranges, winding valleys and spellbinding lakes await – a bucolic setting for a tour of the region’s many gastronomic delights (this is, after all, the spiritual home of melt-in-the-mouth pata negra ham).
