Extremadura: Land of Conquistadors, Nature and Authentic Flavors
Extremadura is a region of contrasts; unspoiled landscapes, monumental cities and a gastronomy that conquers palates. Here, history resonates in every corner, from its Roman ruins to the white villages that guard the legacy of centuries.
Mérida, its capital, is an archaeological treasure. Founded by the Romans, it preserves one of the most impressive monumental sites in Spain: the Roman Theatre, the Amphitheatre and the Bridge over the Guadiana take you back to imperial times.
Cáceres, with its old town declared a World Heritage Site, is a journey back to the Middle Ages. Its palaces, cobbled streets and stone towers evoke a past of nobility and battles. Trujillo, birthplace of conquistadors such as Pizarro, boasts an imposing main square surrounded by churches and Renaissance mansions.
Badajoz, on the border with Portugal, displays its Arab heritage in the Alcazaba, one of the largest in Spain. Zafra, known as the “little Seville”, surprises with its old town of whitewashed houses and Andalusian patios.
Extremadura's natural environment is impressive. The Monfragüe National Park, with its amazing wildlife, is a paradise for lovers of birds of prey. The region of La Vera and the Jerte Valley dazzle in spring with the cherry blossom. In Las Hurdes, wild nature is mixed with villages of unique architecture.
The gastronomy is the pure essence of Extremadura. Iberian acorn-fed ham from the Dehesa is an incomparable delicacy; Torta del Casar, a creamy and strong cheese, is a symbol in itself. Dishes such as migas, lamb stew and Extremaduran gazpacho reflect the simplicity and richness of its cuisine.
The festivities here are lived with passion. The Carnival of Badajoz is one of the most important in Spain; Holy Week in Cáceres is breathtaking. In each town, pilgrimages and popular festivals keep their traditions alive.
Extremadura is a jewel to be discovered; an authentic land, with a glorious past and breathtaking nature.
