A beautiful town, full of white houses and narrow streets to lose yourself in. Alburquerque is a place with a great deal of history to discover. For this reason, a stroll through its old quarter and a visit to its wide range of monuments is highly recommended if you want to discover one of the charming villages of Extremadura Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medieval Gothic quarter of Alburquerque is one of the places you cannot miss during your visit. Crowning the labyrinth of narrow streets that make up the historic centre of Alburquerque is the most symbolic monument of this town: the Luna Castle. This fortress stands out for its combination of different architectural styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zafra\"><\/span>Zafra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <strong>Zafra<\/strong> is technically a city, it could not be missing from this list, as it is one of the most charming places in the whole of Badajoz. This is a town that exudes history and culture. Zafra was a key point during the Muslim period, due to its strategic location. Once we enter its white streets full of Mudejar architecture, we can appreciate all its periods of splendour at first hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to know Zafra in depth, we recommend walking from the Plaza Grande to the Plaza Chica. This is where most of the town&#8217;s historic monuments are located, such as the Town Hall. But without a doubt, the place that arouses most interest is the Alc\u00e1zar-Palace of the Dukes of Feria and current Parador Nacional de Turismo, a beautiful place to visit in Zafra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plasencia\"><\/span>Plasencia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plasensia is <strong>one of the most charming villages in Extremadura<\/strong>, and is only 50 minutes away from C\u00e1ceres. This makes it an ideal destination for a day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This town has<strong>Natural parks to see in Extremadura<\/strong> where at every corner you can learn the stories of the kings and their traditions. Its streets and houses are completely cobbled, giving it a unique touch. You can visit some of its key points, such as the New Cathedral and the Old Cathedral, walk along its walls, or simply stroll around its pleasant Plaza Mayor. Once you get to know it, you&#8217;ll definitely want to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

id=\"Monfrague-National-Park\"><\/span>Monfrag\u00fce National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This impressive national park, which covers <strong>more than 17,000 hectares<\/strong>, is one of the first to exist in Spain. The park is crossed by two important rivers: the Ti\u00e9tar and the Tagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the main destinations you must visit once you have finished exploring C\u00e1ceres, as this park offers <strong>a true natural paradise<\/strong> where you can walk along kilometres of trails through the undergrowth, see a wide variety of wildlife, and get close to the riverbanks. Not to be missed, especially if you are a nature lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jerte-Valley\"><\/span>Jerte Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jerte Valley is considered <strong>one of the best known and most visited in Spain<\/strong>. This impressive natural area has places that will leave you speechless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This valley is especially characterised by natural pools and imposing gorges, all created by the course of the rivers. If you decide to visit, you can&#8217;t miss a trip to the <strong>Garganta de las Nogaledas<\/strong> gorge, a flow of water that reaches a kilometre in length, formed by small waterfalls and undergrowth all around it. A spectacular landscape you can&#8217;t miss if you are travelling through Extremadura Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sierra-de-Gata\"><\/span>Sierra de Gata<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sierra de Gata is <strong>an impressive natural park located on the border between Portugal and the province of Salamanca<\/strong>. This vast natural area, although not well known by travellers, is without doubt one of the places you must visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend dedicating at least a whole day to walk along some of its extensive nature trails. You&#8217;ll come across <strong>some of the most authentic villages in the province<\/strong>, with natural surroundings that will make you feel like you&#8217;re in a film. Some of the most visited are Robledillo de Gata and Trevejo. As for its natural landscapes, you can&#8217;t leave the Sierra de Gata without visiting the incredible Borboll\u00f3n reservoir. A real visual spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-extremadura-worth-visiting-what-travelers-agree-on\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is-Extremadura-worth-visiting-What-travelers-agree-on\"><\/span>Is Extremadura worth visiting? What travelers agree on<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveler opinions consistently highlight Extremadura as one of Spain\u2019s least touristy yet most rewarding regions. Many describe it as ideal for road trips, thanks to its wide-open landscapes, quiet towns, and minimal crowds\u2014even in high season. Visitors often mention feeling surprised by how untouched much of the region feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food is another recurring highlight in traveler discussions. Local dishes, regional wines, and generous portions are frequently praised, especially in smaller towns. History lovers recommend Extremadura for its Roman ruins and medieval centers, while nature-focused travelers point out its birdwatching and national parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extremadura is commonly recommended for travelers who value space, authenticity, and cultural depth over famous landmarks or nightlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-organise-what-to-see-in-Extremadura-Spain\"><\/span>How to organise what to see in Extremadura, Spain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get inspiration from the experiences of other travellers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create your own itinerary and add the app\u2019s suggestions to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the spots you are most interested in, as well as the restaurants and bars where you want to eat (you can use the points of interest listed in this post as a reference).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organise your itinerary by days and according to their location (you can take inspiration from the routes presented in the post).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the travel budget that the app calculates for you based on your travel stops, restaurants, and leisure activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the necessary modifications and you are ready for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, share your experience.

Once there, all you have to do is follow the signs to the park. The journey takes approximately one hour.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1636455840596\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the typical food of C\u00e1ceres?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">&#8211; The first dish that comes to mind when visiting Extremadura is the famous <strong>gazpacho extreme\u00f1o<\/strong>. That is why this dish is our first recommendation if you travel to C\u00e1ceres. Unlike the Andalusian gazpacho, this version uses boiled egg and bread to give the gazpacho more consistency.<br\/><br\/>&#8211; Next we have the <strong>frite<\/strong>, a very popular dish in C\u00e1ceres. The lamb is usually prepared in an earthenware casserole, stewed with water, wine, oil and vegetables.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>&#8211; Another dish not to be missed is the C\u00e1ceres variant of the famous <strong>zorongollo<\/strong>. This dish consists of a salad with roasted peppers and tomato, usually accompanied by meat or fish.<br\/><br\/>&#8211; Finally, we recommend trying one of the most famous sweets in C\u00e1ceres: <strong>floretas<\/strong>. They are made with a dough mixed with egg, transformed into flowers using a mould, and finally fried until crispy. They are delicious!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1636456015696\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to get around Badajoz?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Getting around Badajoz by car can be difficult, as parking is very limited.\u00a0It is best to park at your accommodation or in one of the city&#8217;s free car parks and get around by public transport or on foot.\u00a0<br\/>A good place to park is the Alcazaba Park, where there is free outdoor parking.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1636456084435\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where to eat in Badajoz?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As in most Spanish cities, food forms part of the city&#8217;s most important aspects.
