There are abandoned dogs inside the "zoo". We asked in the office and there were just excuses, the park is not maintained at all. A pity, the location and design is quite good. Also all the doors but one were closed.

DON’T GO! THE PARK IS ABANDONED. THERE IS NO ANIMALS. ❗️
Luana S — Google review
To go from feeling wonderfully content and happy to be in such a beautiful town, to moments later being truly disturbed by the lifeless animals pacing up and down with glazed looks in their eyes due to sheer boredom. I 100% agree with rescuing endangered species but too keep a tiger on its own in a tiny, grassless and baron enclosure seems to be the opposite of letting the animal live on in a protected environment. How for a moment this is happening is beyond me, when across the world there are so many wonderful places where the animals have a great deal of enjoyment and stimulation.
Kate W — Google review
Great little place considering it is free but some parts were being reconstructed so no lions this time. I would agree that the animals do look a bit cramped and a bit sad. I think it would be better to have less animals and more space for them.
Eleanor P — Google review
A bit run down but you see some great animals for free
MrCrazedjay — Google review
If you want to show your kids how animals die, this is the place to go! It's deplorable. Bored animals locked up in too small cages. The infrastructure is completely run down and the guard totally unfriendly. The city of Ayamonte should stop this immediately!

Limitezero

Temporarily Closed
Tours
Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
Limitezero offers an exhilarating zipline adventure that begins in the quaint village of Sanlucar, Spain, and whisks you 720 meters across the Guadiana River into Portugal. As you soar at speeds reaching 80 km/h, you'll find yourself in a new time zone—an hour earlier by the time you land in Alcoutim. This thrilling experience is not just about speed; it's also about enjoying breathtaking views as you glide through the air.
Amazing experience, thanks guys! The team kept it safe and fun. We highly recommend it! Make sure to book in advance as they had a lot of customers during last weekend
Andra M — Google review
An unforgettable experience. I recommend. Note that the site is next to a café by the river and only opens at 4.30 pm. The phone is a simple answering machine. Pay only at the moment. You can book online without paying.

Great experience! Zero stress and all staff was pleasant, humorous and accommodating. The actual line not too fast and the impact at the end was minimal. Xavier in particular was very helpful, kind and fun! Thank you from Cyprus 😊

So easy to get set up on arrival. Loved the photos taken by the photographer as well. Highly recommend to people visiting the area.
Darren W — Google review
I am extremely dissatisfied. I had called before to clarify whether my 15-year-old son could do this alone. This was confirmed! Then I told them that I have about two hours to travel and would be leaving now. When we arrived, they said he couldn't travel alone as he wasn't 18y. old and wouldn't be able to get back across the river on his own. So the journey was for nothing. The treatment was also disappointing: while the men were friendly but reserved, the woman at the counter was dismissive. This was not the service I had expected.
Maja M — Google review
Great way to spend a few hours.... obviously the zip line itself takes a minute, but both villages either side of thr river are well worth a look.
Chris G — Google review
This was my third jump with LimiteZero, with previous jumps in 2015 and 2019 with different groups of friends, and the first two were excellent with everything easy and well laid-out. On this occasion, the website would not permit us to book or pay - there was an error on both occasions that we tried. I followed up by email, and they accepted our booking and said we could pay on arrival. When we arrived, there was some confusion, but we were able to pay and jump. On previous occasions, we have been given information on how to purchase photos of our jump when we landed, but that didn't happen on this occasion; the photographer was busy taking photos of other jumpers and in a roped off area, so we assumed the process had changed since the pandemic and contacted LimiteZero about the photos the following day. Unfortunately, if you don't speak with the photographer immediately on landing, the photos are deleted. The photographer was dismissive and unpleasant when I contacted him, directly blaming me for not knowing how the process worked, which was a sad ending to the experience. I'd recommend that LimiteZero return to providing information on landing. The jump itself still feels safe and well-prepared, but the admin surrounding it could be improved. Note that the ferry from Alcoutim runs half-hourly; if you're coming from Portugal, allow time to get across the river, and remember that Spain is one hour ahead.
Briony R — Google review
Great experience!!! The staff is friendly and the ride to Portugal is smooth and fun Update August 2019 We came back to zipline again with more people. And once again it was a great experience. I highly recommend doing the zipline for the experience, the fun and the ride.

One of the highlights of my trip as it's a unique experience not available in my country. camels looks like they are cared for well. the basic tour is enough if you want the ride, but if you want to learn a lot more then spring for the detailed package I would recommend the owner put up more signs on where to go exactly. I had a hard time finding it as the Google maps location just takes you to the entrance and not the actual your start point. or update your Google maps location
Jensen L — Google review
It was truly magical. The landscape is so pretty! The camels are very friendly and the staff is really kind. You get an optional walk on the camel, then you get tea and dates while they explain things about the camels, a tour of the farm and wash your hands with natural, organic, eco-friendky soap made from camel milk. Amazing! Super fun experience, unmissable.

What an amazing experience. The camel ride through the dunes was just wonderful. Then afterwards a talk about camels filled with very interesting information - we had no idea just what unique and amazing animals they are… they’ve got a lot more going on than long eye lashes and water storage!! The love of camels by the owner was really special and we adored the whole experience. A total bargain and not to be missed.

The unexpected highlight of our holiday. My teenage son and I thoroughly enjoyed the camel ride through the dunes, followed by tea and dates and a really interesting talk about Camels . My husband was also welcomed into the farm for the tea and talk even though he didn't book a camel ride. A five star experience , highly recommended .

(Translated by Google) Magnificent professionals. Unrivaled environment. We visited Minas de Riotinto on Saturday, April 7, 2018. 55 people who had read The Heart of the Earth, by Juan Cobos Wilkins. Attracted by the plot of the novel, we decided to contemplate in situ the setting in which the action takes place. Incredible landscapes that fluctuate between the sparkling green of the mountains, the dark purple of the Rio Tinto and the ocher of the mines. And all from the hand of Juanma, the guide who discovered the secrets of the heart of planet Earth. Juanma, a scholar without falling into pedantry. Sure in the answer to so many questions raised by travelers. In summary, an interesting, fun, dynamic and enriching visit to the Onubense Mining Region. Congratulations FieldWorks Riotinto.

Alvaro D — Google review
(Translated by Google) I went to fieldworkriotinto with the intention of taking a guided tour of Minas de Riotinto in private and with a series of peculiarities that needed someone with a deep knowledge of the place and a good predisposition. It was Juanma, manager, who took care of my request, and I can affirm that it was not only requested but that it fulfilled and exceeded, in an extraordinary way, all my expectations. He had a lot of patience, considering the numerous previous virtual correspondence that I exchanged with him. I will be clear: I belong to the sector, and I know how insistent we can be as clients, as if we were the only request that a company has to attend to. Juanma was not only patient with me, but insisted that I not worry about all my doubts, since his maxim was that the visit was to our total satisfaction. To make matters worse, he advised me on issues such as accommodation, restaurants or transfers when, let's be clear, I did not have to do it and also did not earn anything from it. As it was in private, he picked us up in his car and provided us with a visit to Minas de Riotinto as complete as possible: the source of the river, a visit to mines and mining operations, the mining town, the British legacy, he accompanied us to the train. , to the restaurant, ... we were always accompanied by an expert who controlled the time perfectly and gave us a vision with which he provided not only scientific and historical value, but also the entire socio-cultural context: he explained to us how the town transformed mining exploitation, the relationships that were established between British society and the original inhabitants, how that time is remembered today ... in short, he was able to give us a rigorous, multi-colored vision of Minas de Riotinto, full of details and, even so, extremely enjoyable. I have the habit of taking guided tours when I travel; I think it is necessary that, even after you explore the place on your own, you have a first contact led by an expert. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was the best visit I have enjoyed so far: we had a great experience at the hands of a person who continually transmitted love for his town and his work. Thank you very much for everything. (Original) Acudí a fieldworkriotinto con la intención de realizar una visita guiada por Minas de Riotinto en privado y con una serie de particularidades que necesitaban de alguien con un profundo conocimiento del lugar y buena predisposición. Fue Juanma, gerente, el que se encargó de mi petición, y puedo afirmar que no sólo fue solicito sino que colmó y superó, de una forma extraordinaria, todas mis expectativas. Tuvo muchísima paciencia, teniendo en cuenta la numerosa correspondencia virtual previa que intercambie con él. Seré claro: pertenezco al sector, y sé lo insistente que podemos llegar a resultar como clientes, como si fuéramos la única petición que una empresa tiene que atender. Juanma no sólo fue paciente conmigo, sino que insistió en que no me preocupara por todas mis dudas, pues su máxima era que la visita fuera de nuestro total agrado. Para más inri, me asesoró en cuestiones como el alojamiento, restaurantes o traslados cuando, seamos claros, no tenía por qué hacerlo y además no ganaba nada con ello. Como era en privado, nos recogió en su coche y nos estuvo proporcionando una visita de Minas de Riotinto lo más completa posible: el nacimiento de río, visita de minas y explotaciones mineras, el pueblo minero, el legado británico, nos acompañó hasta el tren, hasta el restaurante, … siempre íbamos acompañados de un experto que controlaba el tiempo a la perfección y nos aportaba una visión con la que proporcionaba no sólo valor científico e histórico, sino también todo el contexto socio cultural: nos explicó cómo transformó al pueblo la explotación minera, las relaciones que se establecían entre la sociedad británica y los habitantes originales, de cómo hoy día se recuerda aquella época, … en fin, supo darnos una visión de Minas de Riotinto rigurosa, poliédrica, llena de detalles y, aun así, sumamente amena. Tengo la costumbre de realizar visitas guiadas cuando viajo; creo que resulta necesario que, aunque a posteriori explores por tu cuenta el lugar, tengas una primera toma de contacto llevado de la mano de un experto. No exagero cuando digo que ha sido la mejor visita que he disfrutado hasta ahora: vivimos una grandísima experiencia de la mano de una persona que transmitía continuamente amor por su localidad y su trabajo. Muchísimas gracias por todo.

Jamones Eíriz y Ruta del Jabugo by Eíriz

Ham shop
Tours
If you're looking for a unique experience in Andalusia, Jamones Eíriz is a must-visit destination. During an engaging two-hour tour, you’ll delve into the fascinating world of Iberian ham production. The journey begins with a scenic stroll through picturesque fields dotted with ancient acorn trees and roaming black pigs. You'll learn about their natural habitat and diet—primarily acorns—which significantly influences the flavor of the final product.
Great tour and tasting. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff gave a very informative tour of the process that gave me a better appreciation for Jamón. They all spoke very good English and Spanish . We never felt rushed and welcomed questions. The tastings was fun and nice was to end the tour. I would recommend.
Jon P — Google review
Our Ruta del Jabugo tour at Jamones Eíriz started with a stroll through the fields. We saw Iberian pigs roaming around cork and holm oaks. It was cool to learn about their natural habitat and what they eat, mostly acorns. Those acorns are what make their ham so good. We even got to pet the pigs, which was a fun part of the tour. After that, we went to a traditional drying house where they explained how they make the ham. They use old-school methods and the special climate of the Sierras de Aracena to make their hams so tasty. The tour ended with a tasting of their best ham. We tried two types of ham, each sliced fresh. It was a great way to learn about the ham-making process and taste the delicious results. Our guide Natalia was very informative and helpful to answer all our questions. It was a pleasure having her as a guide. Overall, the Ruta del Jabugo tour at Jamones Eíriz was a great experience. It was a fun way to learn about the pigs and the ham-making process. If you’re into food and culture, you should definitely check it out. Make sure you book in advance.

Absolutely amazing tour and tasting. I learned so much about the lives of the pigs, their characters and also the process and result of the hams! The explanation was in perfect English and everything was we so well organised! From now on, I know what to buy, what to enjoy and how to do it. I loved every single second!
Brian S — Google review
My partner and I visited in January 2024. What an excellent experience. Very interesting for anyone curious about the process of creating these unique hams. During the two hours you see the black pigs, understand the process of nurturing them and the effects of the specific natural habitat on the final product. You learn about different cuts and techniques used to produce a variety of tastes. You get a blind tasting with wine pairings at the end to test your newly gained knowledge. The team is very professional and speaks English. Best of all, there is a deli where you can select a souvenir to take back home.

Fantastic place to visit to learn about the process of making Iberico Jamones and to try its taste! Be aware, to visit, you'll have to pre-book online, as they do not take walk-ins. Diana was our host, and she's done a wonderful job of explaining the process starting from raising the pigs, all the way to selling the finished Jamones. The tour is divided into 3 parts: Field walk at the meadows to see the pigs in their natural habitat, factory tour on how they make the Jamones, and finally the tasting of the Jamones. It is a fascinating and long process. Both Jamones and wines are available for purchase at the end of the tour. Be aware that this place is located very remotely. Google map is most definitely need it in order to find it. Streets are very narrow there, so avoid large vehicles if possible.

Excellent tour with atentive and knowladge guide - It is worth to learn about jamon production, especially to learn the difference between good and excellent products. I enjoyed the tour of pigs forrest, premises and of cours the preoffessional degustation which comes with 3 different white wines. Well worth to come and see this rural part of Aracenas souroundings. They also sell jamon and other meat products,

September 2022 - Absolutely the best day we had during our whole holiday in Andalusia. From Cadiz we had a 2 hour car ride to Eíriz, with along the way the most gorgeous, almost ancient looking views of endless acorn trees. Our guide of our tour was Domingo, a very passionate, professional, kind person, we were so glad to have him guiding us through our visit. We started with a walk through the fields, were we could take a close look at the pigs, the exceptional trees, and we had proper time to enjoy the nature. Afterwards a tour through the factory and the drying & storage places of the jamónes with superb explanation of all the processes and a lot of time for our questions. We finished with an abundant tasting of the greatest quality of Jamón Iberico Bellota (and great wines!). Domingo told us he was covering a shift of another collegue who was ment to give us the tour. Therefore we would like to thank you even more Domingo, despite your busy schedule you managed to give us the most amazing almost 4 hours during tour. We wish you, your co-workers and your company all the best!

An unforgettable experience! My family & I had the most incredible time with Gloobo. From start to finish, the hosts were not only extremely professional & safety-conscious, but also incredibly friendly, funny, & welcoming. We were the only English speakers in the group, & they went above & beyond to make sure we felt included—translating key moments, chatting with us, & making us laugh throughout the morning. It truly felt special. The hot air balloon ride itself was breathtaking—an hour floating peacefully above the beautiful landscape. The views were magical. After landing, we were treated to a lovely breakfast (included in the experience), followed by a lighthearted storytelling of the history of ballooning, a champagne toast “baptism”, & each of us received a personalised flight certificate to remember the day. I honestly could not recommend this company more. If you’re considering a hot air balloon experience in Spain, look no further—this is the one to book!

It was an amazing experience to fly and sore over the fields and southern Spain! Our pilot, Vicente, and crew, Alberto and Vicent, were phenomenal! Every detail and expectation was surpassed. Highly recommend this tour company to everyone! Even people who are afraid of heights were surprised and astonished at what marvels we saw as we crossed the skies!!

We handed over 12 girls to the team and hoped for the best)) It was our first time working together, and I seriously doubt it’ll be the last. These guys are pros. From the very first “hello” to the final group hug — everything ran like a well-rehearsed dance, you can trust them 100% — no fine print needed. Fear? Transformed into jokes. Nerves? Turned into high-fives. What better way to kick off the day than with a good laugh and a small victory?

Amazing Hot Air Balloon Ride over Ronda! We had an incredible experience flying with Globos Gloobo over Ronda! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole team made it even better. Alfonso and our awesome pilot Vicente were so friendly, funny, and made us feel totally safe the entire time. Everything was super well organized — booking and communication were super easy and hassle-free. You can really tell they love what they do! We’d 100% recommend Globos Gloobo to anyone visiting Ronda. It’s an unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss!

We had such an amazing time on our olive oil tasting tour just outside of Seville! 🌿🫒 It was not only delicious but incredibly informative. We learned all about the different types of olive oil, the detailed production process, and—surprisingly—that the colour of olive oil has nothing to do with its quality (who knew?!). One of the highlights was meeting the farm owner, Juan Antonio. He was such a kind and passionate man, incredibly proud of his farm, and made us feel so welcome. Our guide was also fantastic—super knowledgeable and warm, which made the entire experience even better. If you’re in the area, this tour is 100% worth it. Fun, authentic, and full of flavor! 🍽️🌿✨
Dave E — Google review
We had such an incredible experience visiting during the October harvest. We got to see the entire olive oil process from picking the olives, the machinery, and the end results were truly incredible! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic, making the tour not only informative, but also fun and tasty!!!! Trying the different olive oils was fun, and we had to bring some back home. To top it off, Juan, the owner, drove us through the groves and told us some of his life story and the story of his olive oil company. He’s such an incredibly empathetic and knowledgeable person, and we instantly became huge fans. Thank you Juan and everyone else for making our visit such a special day for us, and a top highlight of our year!

We dropped in on our way to Sevilla and had the most wonderful welcome from Don Juan Antonio and the rest of the family. Fantastic to hear about the 300 years of history that the family has run the farm and wonderful to taste the delicious olive oils, we’re taking a great selection back to Australia with us. Gracias!

What an amazing tour and time! We were able to experience a tour with Jose himself, the owner, then learned the history of olive oil, followed by the best olive oil tasting I’ve ever had! An excellent combination of education and deliciousness. We left with multiple bottles and recipe ideas. This is an experience we will never forget! Definitely go here!

We took a tour here as one of the planned activities on our Spanish tour. The local guide was very informative and gave us eye opening insight into what high quality olive oil should smell and taste like. I think most of our group was surprised by the information provided. We were able to see what the olive oil process is like and sample the oil produced by the farm. It’s strikingly different than what is typically available in the States.

Temple of Diana

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Temple of Diana is an ancient Roman temple in Merida, featuring columns on a raised pedestal and remnants of a medieval castle. The city offers quiet streets, inviting squares, and green spaces along the Guadiana river for leisurely walks. Visitors can explore landmarks like the Arab Citadel and indulge in local gastronomy. Nearby attractions include Roman baths in Alange, the Prosperpina reservoir, and other well-preserved Roman-era buildings such as the Arch of Trajan and the Roman Bridge.
Mérida has the most incredible Roman remains. You do, however, feel like the city doesn’t quite realise what treasures it has and there is an enormous amount of unsympathetic, brutal architecture right up against and in some cases over these wonderful buildings. I hope the city planners can improve how they present their city in a ‘world class’ way.
Lisa M — Google review
Very cool temple, it was the first place I visited where I actually felt like I was really standing in history and not just in a basement of ruins looking at house outlines. Definitely check this place out. You can buy a pass to see all the attractions in Merida for 17 euro and walk around town visiting the coliseum, race track, Roman crypts, the temple of Diana, barracks, etc.
Phillip T — Google review
It is one of the most impressive architectural examples on the Iberian Peninsula. Renowned for being the best-preserved temple in the region. The Temple, rectangular in shape, stands on a high podium of granite. Lots of walking to get here, and climbing stairs to the second level or level below. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Entry fees charged, long queues, book ahead. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen

The Temple of Diana in Mérida is a stunning example of Roman architecture. Interestingly, it was not dedicated to the goddess Diana but rather to the worship of the emperor and his family, in line with the imperial cult of ancient Rome. In the 15th century, a nobleman decided to construct his palace directly atop the temple, significantly altering its original structure. Later, in the 20th century, a U-shaped concrete building was inexplicably constructed around the temple—a decision that remains puzzling to this day. Despite these modifications, the temple remains a fascinating site. It showcases layers of history, where you can see how the Muslims built upon structures left by the Visigoths, who, in turn, had built on the original Roman foundations. The interplay of these civilizations makes the temple an extraordinary testament to the rich and complex heritage of Mérida.

Teatro Romano de Mérida

Historical landmark

The Teatro Romano de Mérida is a historic site that holds the remains of a Roman arena and waiting rooms where gladiator and animal fights took place. Built in 16 BC by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa, it has undergone several renovations over the centuries, including during the reign of Emperor Trajan and Constantine. With its sloped semicircular seating, it could accommodate up to 6,000 spectators.
The Teatro Romano de Mérida is truly an incredible place to visit. It’s amazing to see how well preserved it is, considering it was built more than 2,000 years ago. Walking through the theater, you can really imagine what life was like during Roman times. The architecture is stunning, and the details in the stonework are impressive. The site is very well organized, with clear paths and plenty of information to help you understand the history. It’s a peaceful and beautiful place to explore, and it feels like stepping back in time. If you visit Mérida, this is definitely a must-see. I highly recommend taking your time to walk around and really appreciate everything. Truly a fascinating experience!

This a well preserved historic theatre built by Ancient Rome. During the 1st century AD, the current stage front was erected. The theatre was abandoned in the 4th century AD after the official adoption of Christianity, which considered theatrical performances immoral. Site archaeological excavations started in 1910 onwards. Interesting place to visit. Entry fees charged, long queues, book ahead. Uneven terrain, lots of walking, climbing crude stairs. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Toilets nearby. Great place for photography.

Very recommended. It was built 16-15 year b.C by consul Marco Agripa. It was to around 6000 people. It’s like Roma in small scale but better because it is in a very good state. There is a ticket without guide to visit the full monumental complex: Roman Theatre, Circus, Moreria Arqueological Area, Mithraeum House, Columbarium, Alcazaba, Anfiteatre and House, Diana Temple. All of this for only 17€ per person (normal fee).

Why go to Rome! We purchased our €17 day pass, giving you entry into all of the sites, which is great value. You are given a map detailing the locations of the other sites. Here, you will be transported back, walking through the amphitheatres and tunnels. We are here in the non peak period, and it's fabulous! It's hot, though, so make sure you have a hat and water. You will need it. Put this site on your list of things to do.

If you passed the first beautiful amfitheater you wil see the other one which is more beautiful with incredibly high pillars and colums. You will be blown away what you see. The long walk is all worth it, also if you are not very capable to walk. Advice: combination ticket for 17 euro.

The National Museum of Roman Art in Merida is a stunning blend of ancient history and modern design. The museum, designed by Rafael Moneo Valles, showcases a vast collection of Roman artifacts dating from the 1st century BC to the 6th century AD. These treasures were excavated from the nearby archaeological site of Emerita Augusta, reflecting the historic nature of the city.
Fantastic museum, one of the most expensive collections of Roman artifacts. Outstanding!!! Gorgeous building and massive open spaces for very large pieces.

Magnificent museum. Even only the building is already worth it. There’s a lot to see and learn and wonder about. The entrance fee is 3€, except for Saturday afternoon and Sundays (free then). The only things that could be better; the amount of English explanation (not everything was translated, and some of it was translated poorly) and the restorations sometimes are very unclear. What is old and what has been restored? Absolutely worth a visit!

We did not know that this beautiful museum has so many cool artifacts and mosaiques and statues and roman coins and amphoras and some weapons. I really enjoyed the Roman coins and mosaiques the most. Some of them are sooooo huge and fantastic. They have 3 niveaus where you can walk for hours and that you will get overwhelmed by everything you see. 10 stars.

This museum, in fact, this entire city center, is an archaeological, dig along the lines of anything you would see in Italy with so many treasures they are still finding from the old capital of Lusitania back in ancient Rome. If you’re at all interested in ancient Roman history and you’re in Spain you really should see the city which is a world heritage site. it’s unbelievable that a city way out in the extremadura has a rich historical inheritance, and the museum is very well organized and beautiful for a city of modest size.

What a great museum covering a great deal of local and Spanish history. Starting in about 3000bc, you make your way through artefacts from different eras in Caceres and wider Spain (through Roman, Visigoth and Moor times, to 20th century). The building is also a great part of the exhibit, including an cistern under the building. The fine are section has works from Picasso and Miro which is very impressive for the €1,20 entrance fee (or free for citizens of the EU!)

Historic Walking Areas
The Old Town of Cáceres is a medieval area with well-preserved walls and a fascinating mix of architectural styles including Roman, Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance buildings. The modern city lies below while the historic center sits on a promontory surrounded by medieval walls and watchtowers. Strolling through its narrow streets feels like wandering through a labyrinth of history. This area was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 due to its unique blend of architectural influences.
So beautiful and well maintained. I always expected a knight on a horse to come around the corner. It's a little bit annoying during the winter that some attractions are closed from 2 to 5 pm when the sun is shining and it's a bit warm but open in the evening when it's cold.
CNX E — Google review
Full of many magnificent buildings few of which can entered and few of which seem occupied by families. The city is a museum piece and while one can marvel at the energy and commitment involved in its construction it does seem soulless. No bars or shops that we found in that part of the city we explored. It was worth visiting but my preference is for the small towns which are alive and atmospheric. Try Alcantara for example and appreciate the contrast.

That Town is in my opinion very underrated, because it's so, so beautiful! I reccomend to visit if you're travelling through Spain, it's definitely worth it. The Old Town is just breath taking, and seeing this at night time gives you an opportunity to feel the place, its spirit.

Everyone is very helpful and great fun the Spanish have a wonderful way of always being fun loving and engaging If you need help they are more than happy to help . Trujillo is full of history the Plaza Mayor is stunning you need to give yourself time as I'm the summer it gets VERY hot so my advice is do what the Spanish go out when they do before it gets too hot,to eat at the time they eat their main meal from 2 o'clock rest after a long lunch and go out in the evening to walk around at a leisurely phase no rushing about Trujillo is to enjoy and observe .

Very well maintained old castle. Not a lot to see inside the castle itself, but you do get to walk along the ramparts and a little in the sewers below. Not bad for 2€. This is the castle from Game of Thrones Season 7 used for Castelry Rock.
Kevin G — Google review
Entrance fee is €2. 30-40 minutes you need to see and to walk inside. Astonishing view from the top to the city. Arabic water storage, small chapel, many towers and stairs.

Well worth the visit. Best to walk up to it from the Plaza Major in the early morning to arrive for its opening. the views are spectacular as is the place itself. The 'old town' of Trujillo, its walls and old streets takes your mind back to the time it was built and you are in awe.

Fantastic stay in Trujillo , the architecture is truly amazing topping with a fantastic Castle.
Dave F — Google review
The Alcazaba de Trujillo is perched up on a hill. This fortified military camp was built in the 13th century mainly for defensive purposes, which is why there are no residential rooms. From what I could see from the outside is somewhat preserved. While it is on the outskirts of the old town, I do recommend going there. Unfortunately the day I went, I waited for an hour for it to open after the lunch break and it never did.
Nanita — Google review
This should be the peak of my trip to Trujillo and I kept it for last. Unfortunately, the opening times are once more wrong online. The local ourist management is sloppy enough to ruin a visit to this town. Certainly not worthy of a town that expires world Heritage status.

Parque Nacional de Monfragüe

Mentioned on

National park
Nature & Parks
Nature preserve
Parque Nacional de Monfragüe is a breathtaking biosphere reserve with stunning cliffs, rock faces, and abundant wildlife. The main attraction is the vultures, especially at Salto del Gitano near the castle where you can use binoculars to see chicks in nests. Additionally, there are walking trails and a visitor's center at Villareal de Carlos for more information. However, parking can be limited during peak times.
We came there to see and photograph the landscape and wildlife. A splendid day, black vulture, griffon vulture, Egyptian vulture, eagle, blue magpie, deer, etc. quite near by, gorges, river and brooks, ruïnes, rocks and forests, a paradise for nature lovers!
Jan D — Google review
I haven't got the statistics but I believe that Monfragüe National Park must be Spain's most visited National Park by foreign birders. It's a paradise for raptors, with Black, Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Spanish Imperial Eagles, Golden, Booted, Short-toed and Bonelli's Eagles, as well as Black Stork, Eagle Owl, Iberian Magpie, Spanish Sparrow, Blue Rock Thrush, Rock Bunting, Hawfinch, and a whole lot more. My first visit here was with the UEA bird club back in 1985, and it hasn't really changed much in essence since then. These days I visit the park once or twice a year, usually leading birding tours for our own company, Birding In Spain, or for a British or American bird tour operator. There are more parking spaces at the Salto del Gitano, but it also gets a lot busier than it used to. The views from the Castillo are as impressive as they always were, and you can see still Eagle Owls at La Portilla, with a bit of luck. Then, just immerse yoourself in the beauty of the surrounding cork oak dehesa to really enrich the experience. Monfragüe National Park? AN absolute must-see for any visiting birder!

Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe is a major Roman Catholic monastery with its main church ordered by Alfonso XI in the 14th century. Located in Caceres, it's a favorite spot for birdwatchers due to its natural resources like the Monfrague National Park and Jerte Valley. The monastery, dating back to the 15th century, houses a carving of the Virgin Mary believed to be done by St. Luke.
Absolutely amazing place!!! It has a beautiful architecture and contains an amazing collection of artwork from the most famous European masters. You need to have a guided visit, otherwise you'll miss 90% of the experience. By guided I mean to hire a professional guide, The person that will accompany you during the visit is not a guide but a guard to make sure you don't nick anything.
Jimmy B — Google review
I really enjoyed the visit to the monastery. It is only possible to visit the building with a guided group tour, unfortunately only in Spanish. Even though I have a high level of Spanish, I could not follow everything. So you should be aware of this! The tour was very interesting and the virgen de Guadalupe was worth to see. You are not allowed to make pictures inside, I am not sure about it, but I can respect that. They only take cash. In total I recommend visiting this monastery.
Vincent W — Google review
I absolutely loved visiting the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe. This UNESCO World Heritage site has a rich history, founded in the 14th century and closely tied to Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus. The architecture is stunning, blending Gothic, Mudéjar, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles all in one place. The visit is only possible with a guided tour (you need to book a time) – you cannot just wander inside on your own. No photos are allowed inside, which helps preserve the sacred and historic atmosphere. Unfortunately, some visitors were very disrespectful, trying to sneak photos and even arguing with the guide and the Franciscan friar. I felt bad for them, as they were simply doing their job and protecting this incredible monument. Despite that, the tour was wonderful, informative, and well worth it. A truly special place that I highly recommend visiting with respect and an open heart.
Maria F — Google review
You cannot take pictures here, except one in the museum. I have not seen so much well preserved history. In the Church you can take pictures. For Catholics, there is a Eucharistic miracle located in the chapel of the relics. Also, you must go with a tour group that is guided, so you might want to check on times they go to the museum, so your wait is not long. We had to wait 30 minutes for our tour.
Bruce M — Google review
We arrived just in time for the €7 guided tour. So worth it. The building is amazing, but the contents in each section are unbelievable,especially the library. The guide was very pleasant and answered our questions in English, though the tour information is only in Spanish.
Jo D — Google review
The site is very original and historic. Tour is with a guide only. No English, only Spanish. It was very disappointing how quickly he hustled us through the rooms. We particularly wanted to see the embroideries and I doubt we got 4 minutes in that room. I would suggest to whoever is operating things that they raise their entry fee and hire more attendants. They seemed overwhelmed and frazzled. Same in the gift shop.
Claire R — Google review
Horrible experience. The visit only happens in groups, you have to follow your group, no slower or faster. A rude man who is responsible for the group opens a door, you see a room for 10 minutes, leaves, and go to the next room. No pictures allowed, for some reason. It's located far from all major cities in Extremadura, absolutely not worth the drive.

Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste is a restored monastery, church, and gardens that dates back to the early 1400s. It was used as an emperor's retreat and is known for being the place where Charles spent his last days until he died of malaria. The monastery offers a glimpse into history with its well-preserved interiors, including the emperor's room and a beautiful chapel.
The Monastery of Yuste is known worldwide for being the last resting place of Emperor Charles V and is currently the venue for the European Charles V Award ceremony. It is a beautiful venue full of history. The entrance is €7, but Wednesday and Sunday are free after 3 PM. There are antique furniture, paintings, and statues given to the emperor. There is also one of his swords and a coffin replica which many believe was buried in a similar coffin. I recommend you to go because it is in the middle of nature, and you will also enjoy the road to get there.

Excellent. Worth reading up on the emperor Charles v because he was so involved in English history and the lives of the Tudors. He died here and his austere little palace is well preserved. The monastery is very peaceful even when it’s busy.

Absolutely fantastic! Get a guided tour!!! You can buy tickets on the internet just to enter the place or pay a little bit extra and get an official guide to explain everything. All in the internet but guided tours are offered only at certain times. You need a guide or will miss 90% of the experience. In our tour there were only 4 people. There is too much history in this place.
Jimmy B — Google review
The monastery has a fascination with a huge historic fingerprint. Its a somehow remoted spot in this world with a calm appearance and wonderful view. The retired emperor choosed a spot to stay away and it is. The monastery is well prepared to give history and a understanding of Europe in some epochs. A time where Europeans were more united than devided. Ok thats because of Royal marriage Policy and less by consent from the people.

Beautiful historical monastery where Charles I spent his last days until he died of malaria. Gorgeous place to take photos, very neat to be able to visit the emperor’s room and the chairs he sat on and was carried in when he was sick, a pretty chapel and so cheap to get into compared to historical buildings in the US (Under 8 Euros for adults and half price for kids up to 16, seniors, and a bunch of other discounted groups). The audio guide is recommended, it’s well done. The grounds are spacious and really impressive, all sorts of paths to walk around and off the beaten path from the usual tourist routes.
Marta T — Google review
This monastery is by far the most beautiful, the most impossant one i have ever visited. The price is 7 euro each person. Really good that they check your stuff and safety. The three big trees oitside are jewels. The rooms inside too. What the most beautiful thing is, is the stair and wall, with all the growing and hanging treebranches that are climbing/growing to the wall.

Garganta de los Infiernos, located in the Jerte Valley, is a nature reserve renowned for its stunning waterfalls and natural pools.

The excursion begins at the interpretation center with ample parking available. Along the way, hikers can enjoy picnic areas and capture beautiful photos of the scenic landscape.

(Translated by Google) Due to its location, it overlooks the river and the bridge at the highest point in the valley. It was built on a Vettonian hill fort, constructed in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries. It has a square floor plan and a surface area of ​​approximately 1,700 square meters, not including the lost outbuildings such as the moat, counter-moat, portcullis, dovecote, and stables.

The castle and adjoining hotel and palace are fantastic. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots of manicured ares to sit and admire the scenery in the shade. The entrance to the castle is inside the Palace grounds. There is parking both inside and outside the walls. The website showed it was closed on Monday but it was open and only cost 4eu. Well worth the price of admission. There are alot of stairs with no permanent railings so if you are unsure of climbing it may be best to pass on going up. Castle is in very nice condition and has information plaques on just about everything. Highly recommend this location. Younger man at the ticket area was very knowledgeable and friendly. Spoke English as well. Small little gift shop at entrance that helps pay for the staff and buildings. If possible take a walk around the outside of the buildings for some great views.

We tried to catch a full red/orange forest but looks like we just missed it. Still, we come almost every year to hike and it’s always so beautiful. It’s like the little forest from a fairytale ☺️ Weekends they charge for entry, 6€ for a car and 2€pp. They also have nice seating in the front for a little picnic!
Nadia — Google review
Beautiful forest mainly composed by chestnut tree. Autumn is the most beautiful season, I really recommend to go in this season but, if possible, in week days, due to the fact that it is really crowded on weekends. Positive things: Astonishing nature in autumn, leaves looks like gold with their golden colour. There's also a parking for cars. Negative things: Really crowded in peak season and you have to pay.
Teresa S — Google review
After an uncomfortable 20 minutes dust road drive to the parking you get out of the he car in the midest of lush forest. You instantly feel the fresh cold air as the trees leaves block most of the sun light. The routes are easy, confortable even for kids. On weekends, there is a guide welcoming visitors to give them indications on the nature they will see and participate to take care of by not dumping trash, not collecting chestnuts and following the stablished paths. The forest is hence well preserved even though it has lots of visitors. In El Tiemblo, before reaching the dusty road there is an information post where you are stopped by forest rangers. If you want to get there with your car you have to pay 6€ for the car plus 2€ per passenger. They'll provide indications and a map.
