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