Born in France, Puy du Fou is a new kind of theme park featuring spectacular history extravaganza shows. It is the recipient of numerous awards in both Europe and the USA. In 2019 a show inspired by the park opened in the Spanish city of Toledo offering a fascinating journey through the history of Spain.
The huge live show park of more than 30 hectares offers diverse entertainment proposals:
-
During the day, major shows are performed, inspired by historical events and Spanish legends: A pluma y espada, set in Toledo in 1592, in the midst of the Golden Age, with the writer, Lope de Vega, as one of its main characters; El último cantar, which tells the tales of Rodrígo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid Campeador in 11th century Castile; Cetrería de Reyes, set in 939 in Marca Media, with Abderraman III and Count Fernán González of Castile vying for a truce with hundreds of birds of prey; Allende la mar oceána, in which the audience is immersed as a crew member on the Santa María in search of a new route to the Indies, in 1492; The Mystery of Sorbaces, set in 589, in which a forbidden wedding is held between a young Roman girl and a Gothic prince, and De tal palo... (A chip off the old block) reviewing major events from Spanish history through 80 generations of Julián Gutiérrez.
-
The five themed villages can be visited to become more immersed in History: the Royal Village, the Andalusian Askar, Villanueva del Corral, La Venta de Isidro and El Arrabel, a medieval market at the feet of the great wall.
-
At sunset, it will be time to return to The Toledo Dream, the outdoor evening show that takes spectators through more than 1,500 years of History on a historic dramatised journey, with 200 actors and incredible special effects, ranging from the reign of King Recaredo I in the 6th century to the arrival of the railway, as well as the Navas de Tolosa battle or the discovery of America.
In the four historic villages, there are several food outlets as well as craft workshops and boutiques with handmade, local, original and sustainable products. Furthermore, to cope with the heat of the Toledo summer, 15 fountains and water points have been installed throughout the park, as well as 4750 m2 of pergolas and awnings, and 80% of the paths have rest areas in the shade, benches and misting points.
The shows will have simultaneous translation in English and French via a smartphone thanks to the park’s free app. The entire venue offers free Wi-Fi.
Puy du Fou España is the park that has won the most awards ever in its first year of opening, having won 9 awards, including the World’s Best Show for “El Último Cantar” (awarded by the IAAPA, International Association of of Amusement Parks and Attractions), the Most Innovative Park in Spain (Remarkable Venue Awards), Best Park in Spain (PACAWARDS), Best Show in Europe for “The Toledo Dream” (PARKSMANIA AWARDS) and Award for the Protagonists of Education (MAGISTERIO AWARDS).
