Extremadura is a land of broad horizons, deep history and wild nature. It is the cradle of the conquerors who forged empires and whose mark can be seen in the palaces of Cáceres and Trujillo. It is the indelible legacy of Rome, which shines with a unique splendor in Mérida, its ancient capital. Its landscape is the pasture, an idyllic ecosystem of holm oaks and cork oaks where the Iberian pig is raised, producing the best ham in the world. But Extremadura is also the intense green of La Vera, the waterfalls of the Jerte Valley in spring and the majestic flight of the vultures in the Monfragüe National Park. Visiting Extremadura is taking a trip to an authentic Spain without artifice, where history weighs and nature imposes its law, all paired with honest and powerful gastronomy.
