Moratinos

Moratinos has been experiencing a slow renaissance, with a few buildings rehabilitated and a growing community of international residents drawn by the quiet and the cheap property. The hillside behind the village is honeycombed with bodegas — underground wine cellars dug into the earth like hobbit holes, built to store large barrels in the cool darkness.

A bar and a casa rural provide basic services. The atmosphere is unhurried even by meseta standards.
