You don't have to be by the sea to
become
the place where everyone wants to be this summer. This is what happens with
Las Noches del Ángel
, the summer terrace of the Cigarral del Ángel, a historic and monumental rural estate in Toledo. The environment, although freshwater, could not be more spectacular
: on the banks of the Tagus
, surrounded by lush vegetation,
gardens, patios and squares
and with views of the imperial city that leave more than one speechless. And, although Las Noches del Ángel is only one year old, the cigarette store in which it is located
has
an extensive
biography
. "It is the
oldest in Toledo
and it has an area of 10 hectares ", explains
Óscar Rodríguez
, director of
Grupo Saboress
, a restaurant company that, for eight years, has managed the events that take place in the Cigarral del Ángel and also on its terrace.

Roman arena there
;
later a convent and later the home of
Fina de Calderón
(1920-2010), Spanish writer, poet, musician and composer.
Today, its gardens and its thousands of rose bushes and other plants frame, among other things, the
best terrace in the interior of the Peninsula
, according to the readers of the
Repsol Guide
.
Las Noches ... was born last year.
"We dedicate ourselves, above all, to events and weddings. As
a result of the pandemic
, our activity disappeared, we decided to open
a summer terrace in
the afternoons
and from May to October," says Óscar.
And the success of this project that was born out of
necessity and reinvention
was such that, in 2021, they have repeated the experience.
