In the heart of Requena's historic center, amidst cobbled streets and centuries-old facades, stands a building full of soul and history: the former headquarters of Telefónica, now lovingly converted into a charming tourist building with three unique apartments, where every corner whispers memories and every room welcomes you with warmth.
Here, where the "cable girls" once connected voices and hearts through old switchboards, travelers today stay in search of authenticity, comfort, and a piece of local history. The building preserves the essence of its past, such as its beautiful facade and a grand staircase through which the echo of a distant call can still be heard.
Each apartment is a small gem with its own identity, decorated in a style that blends vintage and contemporary with exquisite taste. The large windows let the golden light of the sunset shine over Requena's rooftops, and from some rooms, the silhouette of the medieval walls can be glimpsed.
But the experience doesn't end at the doorstep. Requena is a land of wine and flavor, and its soul spills out in every glass of Bobal. Very close to the building, the underground cellars—authentic stone labyrinths—wait to be discovered, while the wine bars offer unforgettable tastings with pairings that celebrate the rich local cuisine: artisanal cured meats, ajoarriero (a type of cured meat), Requena gazpacho (a type of cured meat), or the savory morteruelo (a type of wine), all washed down with wines that tell the story of a bountiful land.
Just a few steps away, the Plaza de la Villa (village square) with its medieval charm invites a leisurely stroll. If travelers want to breathe fresh air, the surroundings of Requena surprise with landscapes of endless vineyards, pine-covered mountains, and routes between rivers and canyons, such as the natural area of the Hoces del Cabriel.
This tourist building isn't just a place to sleep: it's a bridge between the past and the present, a tribute to the women who connected lives with cables and patience, and today it warmly welcomes those who come looking for an experience steeped in history, flavor, and soul.
