Today at Hard Hobbit To Break we want to stay in Estremadura, land of contrasts that has numerous attractions, gastronomy being one of its strengths, in addition to its eagerness to care for its beautiful towns. Today we are going to show you precisely the most beautiful towns in this autonomous community. Do you want to join us?
Guadalupe, Cáceres
First of all, we are going to tell you about Guadalupe, a town with cobbled streets and traditional architecture from Cáceres. The strong point of this place is that it preserves monuments of great value, such as the Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe Sanctuary, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Jerez de los Caballeros, Badajoz
Declared a Monumental Artistic Complex, Jerez de los Caballeros hides numerous monumental buildings, since the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Arabs and the Christians passed through this place. However, those who left a deep mark on this place were the Knights Templar.
Trujillo, Cáceres
The medieval town of Trujillo, known cradle of conquerors, is one of the best tourist destinations in Extremadura, since it houses a valuable set of castles, manor houses and churches located around the Plaza Mayor, declared a Site of Cultural Interest. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the Monfragüe National Park is a few kilometers from Trujillo.
Zafra, Badajoz
Known as Seville the Girl, Zafra was a strategic point on the Via de la Plata of Roman Hispania, from which its San Miguel cattle fair has remained. The town's palace stands out, which has a military aspect on the outside but looks like a palace on the inside. The rest of the town maintains the medieval character.
Trevejo, Cáceres
We also want to tell you about Trevejo, an extremely attractive town where there is no asphalt and the stone Gray. What is most surprising about this place are the ruins of a castle on top of the hill.
Llerena, Badajoz
What we like the most about Llerena is the mix of cultures that breathe here, being able to find a rich monumental heritage, with a multitude of convents, churches and palaces in its old town. The Church of Our Lady of Granada stands out, in a Baroque style.
Robledillo de Gata, Cáceres
Another town that could not miss on the list is Robledillo de Gata, which preserves a particular urban framework and a characteristic architecture popular. The town stands out for its historic center, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, in addition to its spectacular natural environment.
Plasencia, Cáceres
In Cáceres, on the banks of the Jerte River, we find Plasencia, which has a spectacular old town. Inhabited by Romans and Arabs until the 12th century, it began to become the home of the region's nobility from the 15th century, which is perceived in its current appearance of palaces, noble houses and important religious buildings.
Olivenza, Badajoz
Olivenza belonged to Portugal until the beginning of the 19th century. Founded by the Templar Order in the 13th century, it presents an architecture that mixes the Portuguese with the Spanish style. In addition, it should be noted that its monumental heritage is very high: an old town surrounded by ramparts, the church of La Magdalena, the church of the Brotherhood of Mercy, the Convent of the Poor Clares ...
Alcantara, Cáceres
Finally, we want to talk about Alcántara, a town that is also located on the border that separates Spain from Portugal and that has a rich monumental heritage, highlighting its Roman bridge and the buildings built by the Order of Alcántara. In addition, the landscape is truly spectacular and you can practice different adventure sports here.
