Small Boutique hotels in EXTREMADURA

A landscape of arid beauty and cities brimming with history distinguishes this Spanish region in the west of the Iberian Peninsula touching Portugal. In Cáceres, capital of Extremadura, the old city features an extraordinary medieval setting, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a distinction that Mérida also boasts. The spectacular Roman legacy: Theater, amphitheater, temples and aqueducts make it a unique place.

Trujillo, linked to the discovery of America, features innumerable palaces, churches and an imposing castle. It also stands out for the charming hotel accommodation in historic buildings.

The Dehesa de Extremadura, with its holm oak forests where the Iberian pig is reared on acorns, is one of the best preserved agricultural forest ecosystems in Europe. Between Jerez de los Caballeros and Fregenal de la Sierra, two enchanting towns with Templar fortresses, you can enjoy unique spots and the famous ham.

Another regional treasure is the powdered flavoring known as paprika de la Vera, the red gold of Extremadura. It is prepared and particularly prevalent in towns such as Jarandilla de la Vera and Cuacos de Yuste, where there is the legendary Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste, with splendid gardens, where Emperor Charles V of Germany spent the last days of his life.
