Jarandilla de la Vera, Historical town in La Vera region, Extremadura, Spain

The municipality extends across 62 square kilometers of diverse terrain at an elevation of 585 meters above sea level in central Spain.

The 15th-century palace of the Counts of Oropesa provided temporary residence for King Carlos V of Spain during the renovations of Yuste Monastery in 1556.

The municipality maintains traditional festivals throughout the year, including the December Escobazos celebration with bonfires, horseback displays and local processions.

The former castle, transformed into Parador Jarandilla de la Vera, provides accommodation while preserving the original architectural elements of the medieval structure.
