The most beautiful towns in Cáceres

trevejo1
In the interior of Spain, in the north of the Extremadura region, we find the province of Cáceres , which has much to offer the traveler beyond its capital, whose old city is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, as well as than the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe. On the other hand, it is important to bear in mind that the province is very frequented by ornithology fans thanks to its natural spaces, among which the Monfragüe National Park stands out, as well as the Jerte Valley, a place that must be visited in Spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. As for gastronomy, we must highlight its sausages, especially the Iberian ham from the Dehesa de Extremadura.

Cáceres is a great option for rural tourism, among other things because it is home to really beautiful towns . Today we are talking about some of the most beautiful, although we apologize in advance for all those who have been left in the pipeline. Would you like to join us?

Alcantara

In the first place, we are going to talk about Alcántara, a town located on the banks of the Tagus River, in the last foothills of the Sierra de San Pedro, coinciding with the border that separates Spain from Portugal. Here you will find a rich monumental heritage, highlighting its Roman bridge and some of the buildings erected by the Order of Alcántara, and a beautiful natural environment ideal for practicing water sports, hiking, horse riding or sport fishing.

Plasencia
