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.
Nice place to spend some time , loads of clothes, probably second hand ,very cheap. We were amused by the sellers how they are shouting to people to buy their staff
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 .
With Family a very nice Experience. Our children enjoyed it. The camels look healthy and nice. From Seville less than 1 hour trip by car. I recommend after to visit the beach. It's a very nice area.
Nice touch with ecology of the camels. Animals very well treated. Staff great and knowledgeable
Beautiful, special experience.

(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.

Visitamos Minas de Riotinto el sábado 7 de abril de 2018. 55 personas que habíamos leído El corazón de la tierra, de Juan Cobos Wilkins.
Atraídos por la trama de la novela, decidimos contemplar in situ el escenario en el que se desarrolla la acción. Paisajes increíbles que fluctúan entre el verde restallante de la sierra, el púrpura oscuro del río Tinto y el ocre de las minas. Y todo de la mano de Juanma, el guía que nos descubrió los secretos del corazón del planeta Tierra.
Juanma, erudito sin caer en la pedantería. Seguro en la respuesta ante tantas cuestiones planteadas por los viajeros. En resumen, una interesante, divertida, dinámica y enriquecedora visita a la Comarca Minera Onubense.

(Translated by Google) Routes for all super well explained by an excellent team of professionals.
(Original)
Rutas para todos súper bien explicadas por un excelente equipo de profesionales.
(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.

Plaza de la Gruta de las Maravillas
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Plaza de la Gruta de las Maravillas is a popular attraction located near the city center of Aracena. Discovered in 1886, these stunning caves stretch over 1 km deep into the hill on which a castle and church are built. The square dedicated to the Grottoes of Wonders features benches with scenes from the caves, allowing visitors to capture what they have seen since photography is not allowed inside.
(Translated by Google) Wow, the Nerja cave beats it by far, very lovingly and cleverly illuminated. Comments like: you can't take photos, touch anything, take nothing with you, it happens much too quickly, what nonsense, it is explained in the simplest terms why this is so and is understandable for every clear-thinking person. The negative comments can only have come from egomaniacal minds!!
And it's worth visiting the grotto more often - we always discover something new and inspiring, be it simply the climate.
We are very grateful to be able to visit this extraordinary place, because one thing is clear: the entrance fees hardly cover the entertainment.

(Original)
Wow, schlägt die Grotte von Nerja um Längen, sehr liebevoll und mit Hirn illuminiert. Kommentare von wegen: man darf keine Fotos machen, nichts anfassen, nichts mitnehmen, es geht viel zu schnell,—— was fürn Blödsinn, es wird in einfachsten Worten erklärt warum dies so ist und ist für jeden klar denkenden Menschen verständlich. Die Minus Kommentare können nur egomanen Köpfen entsprungen sein!!
Und es lohnt sich die Grotte häufiger zu Besuchen wir entdecken immer wieder etwas neues, inspirierendes und sei es einfach das Klima.
Wir sind sehr dankbar diesen außergewöhnlichen Ort besuchen zu dürfen, denn eines ist klar, die Eintrittspreise dürften die Unterhaltung kaum decken.

A beautiful place to enjoy the view of the castle.

De este lugar lo que más llama la atención son los bancos que tienen diferentes motivos relacionados con la gruta de las maravillas. También existe una antigua lavandería pública. El lugar se encuentra bien conservado y tiene alrededor bares donde se puede comer. Sin duda, es un lugar que recomiendo visitar.
(Translated by Google) The Gruta de las Maravillas is, without a doubt, one of Spain's most impressive underground treasures. It doesn't stand out for its size, but it does for the incredible variety of geological formations it houses: stalactites, stalagmites, underground lakes... it has it all! Each room seems like something out of a fairy tale.
It's an experience that must be experienced in person, because no photo could capture the beauty hidden underground. And that's part of the dilemma: they don't allow photos or videos during the visit, which can disappoint those who want to share the experience. Upon entering, they take your photo in front of a chroma key that they then try to sell for €10, which feels somewhat forced.
Even so, the visit is totally worth it. It's a must-see in Huelva, and a natural gem that will leave you speechless. Ideal for lovers of geology, nature, and unique places.
(Original)
Las Gruta de las Maravillas es, sin duda, uno de los tesoros subterráneos más impresionantes de España. No destaca por su tamaño, pero sí por la increíble variedad de formaciones geológicas que alberga: estalactitas, estalagmitas, lagos subterráneos… ¡lo tiene todo! Cada sala parece sacada de un cuento fantástico.
Es una experiencia que hay que vivir en persona, porque ninguna foto podría capturar la belleza que se esconde bajo tierra. Y eso es parte del dilema: no permiten hacer fotos ni vídeos durante la visita, lo cual puede decepcionar a quienes quieren compartir la experiencia. Al entrar, te hacen una foto frente a un croma que luego intentan vender por 10 €, lo cual se siente algo forzado.
Aun así, la visita merece totalmente la pena. Es una parada obligatoria en Huelva, y una joya natural que te deja con la boca abierta. Ideal para amantes de la geología, la naturaleza y los lugares únicos.

The museum is part of the cultural exquisiteness of Aracena, a charming town in Andalucia known for its rich cuisine and natural surroundings, including the spectacular Gruta de las Maravillas caves.

Very interesting Museum.
They have an audioguide in many languages but it would have been more helpful if the signs next to the Exhibition objects were at least in english.
I love pigs me ! A information packed museum, all in Spanish but you can download an English guide to your mobile. Ticket included in the Caves and Castle package
This is a restaurant. Great service, very delicious Spanish food and tapas, slim wine selection but good jamon selection (beef part, % fat, etc). Moderately priced. Service is pretty fast. they probably get busy during High season.
This museum is way better than I expected. It's small but packs in a lot of information about both the history of Iberian ham production and its current state.
Most of the exhibits are described only in Spanish but you can use the English audio guide and Google Translate on your smartphone is very helpful.
Well laid out. Not too overwhelming. A lot of information about pigs rather than ham. The section about the slaughtering process is not suitable for small children or vegetarians.
Unattractive with not much items to see. Its better to visit one of the farms with ham production in the villages around... There is an interesting sculpture of pig shepard in front...
A small museum about the production of jamon in the area. It does not have many exhibits, but panels with information's, written only in Spanish. Use the audio guide for English. It's worth to visited if you have the combined ticket (12,5€)

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!
Great experience. The guides were very engaging and funny. They knew their stuff and the landing was super smooth. Really great experience. They organize a breakfast after the ride with a buffet in the hotel. Huge variety
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!
It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and genuine. Not more, I can say about the views and serenity. After we have br7nch at a pretty nice hotel nearby.
Amazing flight, with a great pilot/host. Very kind to translate to english for us and make us feel part of the group. Brunch was great aswell!

Historical landmark
The Alcázar de la Puerta de Sevilla in Carmona is a historical site that showcases remains of defensive walls, gates, and palace structures built by various rulers throughout history. The fortress, which was restored in the 14th and 15th centuries and later in the 1970s, now houses the Carmona Tourist Information Office.
Fun locale for viewing the town. Gorgeous on a sunny autumn afternoon 👍🏽
Ramon C — Google review
A town full of history. The castle was the best choice to visit, amazing view over the city.
Great place to visit if you want to understand the city better. This fortress was first built way before roman times. You can clearly see the roman ruins and the ruins of the Arabic period, but the first layer of stones is from the Carthaginian period. The folder gives you a lot of explanation, as well as the texts you can find in one of the rooms. Audio is only in Spanish. Booking required for guided visits.
One of the oldest towns in europe. Great side trip from Seville. The parking is reasonable, with no entrance fee for the old walled city. There are several museums and churches to visit. A very laid back yet intersting place.
Wonderful architecture, a vast palace with several big gardens full of history.
Be aware that, because of COVID19, you can only buy tickets online with credit card (code generator machine needed), so if you are coming from an outside country buy the tickets in advance.
On part of the old fortress walls in Carmona. Still majestic though only a small part of it remains. A great place to take photos or climb to the top to see the surrounding area.
Hours of history to explore. You can even use your phone for the audio guide. You can purchase tickets online to skip the line to buy them in person.
If you don't go up this place, you can't say you've seen this city. This is the most beautiful view point. If I should choose between a famous restaurant and this place in Carmosa, I choose this puerta.

Temple of Diana

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
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.

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.
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
Day or night, sun or rain... it's just beautiful. Within 5min walk from Paula Films Hotel. And there is a next door gourmet burger joint with a view (next time).
Wow this place is absolutely incredible! I love getting the opportunity to visit places like this! It's what makes travel so special! Please visit here if you are in the area!!
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.
It’s in the center of the town, and really cool when you look and think about how long it’s been there
Very cool area and a nice walk from the local hotels. The way the city has been built up over time around Roman architecture is amazing. The area around the ruins gets very busy with your groups after about 10am so if you are trying to get a peaceful viewing experience go early.

Teatro Romano de Mérida
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Concerts & Shows
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.
Seriously one of the most amazing places I have visited in Spain. I loved every single minute of my time in this place.
What a fabulous site. To see 2 Roman sites and more in one place. Parking is hard. But beautiful to walk through
Excellent archaeological site, very informative with boards in Spanish and English. They need to provide more water stations and shaded areas around the site as the heat is so intense, also rubbish bins.

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.
Jay P — Google review
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.
Stunning example of a museum supporting adjacent archaeological site. Most of the significant artefacts were moved to the museum for protection and safekeeping. What a comprehensive display. Worth the entry fee but even better on a free day! 😀
The ticket it’s free. Three levels fantastic history of Romanic cologne
Wondering where all the art is? It's here! Tons of amazing frescoes, sculptures, and grave goods to satisfy your curiosity. Absolutely free and well worth your time.
Well designed building. Nice space feeling.
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. Ole!

The Cáceres Museum, located in the city's historic center, offers a fascinating journey through Spanish history and culture. Housed in 16th-17th century buildings, it showcases archaeological finds and cultural displays. Visitors can explore the Casa Mudejar, Casa del Solis mansion with its Renaissance patio, and the Palacio de las Veletas with a well-preserved water cistern.
Really nice museum with friendly, helpful staff. Interesting archeological pieces and even artworks from Miro. Entrance is free for EU citizens. The old arabic cistern at the basement is nice and a must-see (in case you aren’t claustrophobic though 😄)

Nice museum, but it could be better if modernized.
Joke from Google - absolutely CLOSED. No way will it open for months. See my photo. Cement delivery in progress. Good thing was the cafe next door after all the steps.
The museum is open and worth a visit for the archaeological parts mainly period. But you are not the most interesting part, the Arab. Aljibe or cistern is closed and supposedly for two years. That’s a very good reason to postpone your visit to Caceres after it reopens.
Great bronze age pieces. Amazing museum for a smaller city. The 6,000 year old carved idol. The Roman and Visigothic pieces.
Worth a visit, even if only to see the Arab cistern.
Interesting archeological artefacts found in the local area a on display.
Free entry if you're a citizen of the EU member state, if not it's still only 1.5€ for admission.
Some great paintings upstairs too!
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!) Detailed information is in Spanish but more concise in English.

Sights & Landmarks
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.
A great place to break our journey south for a wander around the city and grab a coffee. Lots of interesting buildings.
It’s a beautiful place, a bit magical. Cáceres has a stunning medieval old town, full of fascinating places to explore and plenty of towers. It’s a lively and truly captivating.
Great place to visit, a mixture of Roman, Moorish, and medieval Spanish. Interesting churches, the museum of Càceres is really a visit & if you can find La Cacharreria restaurant & get a table then go. The food is amazing...
Really wonderful !
Please come to Cáceres and don't forget to visit the "Casco histórico". History is present everywhere!
Caceres Old Town: Visited in September 2025. An excellently kept medieval town centre, still partially in use. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.

Trujillo Alcazaba, also known as Trujillo Castle, is a medieval Moorish stone fortress with 8 towers and a horseshoe arch. Situated at the top of a granite hill in the city, it was built between the 9th and 12th centuries over an Arab citadel. The castle offers panoramic views of dusty plains dotted with smaller castle ruins and ancient walls. It has gained popularity as one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones.
Trujillo is an amazing place to visit. You are surrounded by history . You actually feel.like you are in a movie set in some historical movie . The atmosphere is something else . Trujillo has great restaurants , cafes and bars. . 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.
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.
A really good experience. Not crowded and gorgeous views.
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.
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.
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 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!

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!
Absolutely stunning. Snow topped mountains, open clean air, sunshine. Great place to drive, amazing countryside. I went to take photographs of birds. I was not disappointed. I can recommend a visit.
Stunning views, you can see many eagles etc.
A must see on the road to Madrid or Lisbon !!! The scenery is amazing, I enjoyed walking / hiking in the middle of wild life. Animals were all around me. Be discret and observe 😉
Absolutely amazing scenery and wildlife.
recommended to avoid it on really sunny on hot days, since the park doesn't have many big trees for shade.
the landscape is astonishigly beautiful and there are many paths you can follow around if you want to discober the park hiking
Amazing views of Griffin Vultures on the 'Rock'. Also a blue rock thrush and black storks. Definitely worth a visit.

Very interesting cathedral. We paid to enter €8 per person which includes audio guide. There is an old building and new building to explore. The altars are incredibly ornate.
A fantastic treasure of architecture and art. Maybe 8 euros is a but too much but it was still worth it.
Las Edades del Hombre..: great way to learn about transit across sacred art… if you can, spend a few days enjoying Plasencia, the food, people and the countryside. You will truly enjoy it!
Must see if you are in Plasencia! For only 4€ you can visit this fantastic place including a very interesting audio tour. You can see the history of the old cathedral of the 14th century and the new one of the 16th century build next to each other. Impressive!!!
Beautiful decoration on the inside of this noble and strong cathedral.
A beautiful cathedral, but there is only a small part you can see without paying entrance.
OK but others in the region more impressive and in better setting

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lovely little town , and fantastic monastery

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.
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.
Enjoyed this historic place. Interesting building and park area to walk around.
Beautiful palace and gardens, well worth a visit. Check out the website for periods of free entrance.
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.
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.

Geologic Formations
Garganta de los Infiernos, located in the Jerte Valley, is a nature reserve renowned for its stunning waterfalls and natural pools. The area known as Los Pilones offers picturesque potholes and inviting swimming spots. Visitors can embark on various routes, including a long but rewarding trek through lush surroundings. 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.
Absolutely worth the hike. The water is so clear, the rocks are smooth to climb through and there was even a small little sand beach to relax in the sun and picnic

Amazing!!!!!!
(Translated by Google) Circular route of about 6km going along a path and returning along a track. It can also be done the other way around or round trip through the same place.
There are 3 parking spaces, two paid by the town hall for €5 and a private one that is closer to the start of the route for €3. All with hardly any shade. Several trash cans and free toilets next to the Interpretation Center.
(Original)
Ruta circular de unos 6km yendo por sendero y volviendo por pista. También se puede hacer al revés o ida y vuelta por el mismo sitio.
Hay 3 parking, dos de pago del ayuntamiento 5€ y uno privado que está más próximo al inicio de la ruta 3€. Todos sin apenas sombra. Varias papeleras y baños gratuitos al lado del Centro de Interpretación.
(Translated by Google) I recommend a visit. The trail is a bit tiring, but worth it. The water is crystal clear and refreshing. Beautiful.
(Original)
Recomendo a visita. Trilha um pouco cansativa mais vale a pena. Água cristalina e refrescante. Lindo.
(Translated by Google) A pleasant, shady 3km walk to the river. If you swim 200m below the bridge, the water isn't as crowded. Crystal-clear water. We did it with children between 2 and 5 years old, and it was a great time!
(Original)
Agradable paseo sombrío de 3km hasta bañarnos en el río. Si te bañas 200m más abajo del puente de los pilones no hay tanta gente. Agua cristalina. Lo hicimos con niños de entre 2 y 5 años y muy bien!
(Translated by Google) It is a wonder of nature, the route is entertaining, from the interpretation center 2.9 km, with climbs, descents, with shade from the trees, medium-low difficulty, although there are some strong slopes, but it is worth it when you arrive and see this wonder, in the area of the bridge you can bathe carefully ⚠️, and in the area of the pilons it is great to be able to stop and listen to the sound accompanied by the wonderful view, it has a spout that comes out fresh drinking water to hydrate! 😉👍🏼
(Original)
Es una maravilla de la naturaleza, la ruta es entretenida, desde el centro de interpretación 2,9kms, con subidas, bajadas, con sombra de los árboles, dificultad media baja, aunque hay alguna cuesta potente, pero merece la pena cuando llegas y ves está maravilla, en la zona del puente se puede bañar con cuidado⚠️, y en la zona de los pilones es genial poder pararse a escuchar el sonido acompañado de la vista maravillosa, tiene un caño que sale agua potable fresquita para hidratarse!😉👍🏼
(Translated by Google) A beautiful natural setting.
A must-see if you're in the Jerte Valley.
You can reach the gorge after a low-difficulty hike of approximately 70 minutes.
It's worth it.

Paraje natural precioso.
Imprescindible visitar si estás en el Valle del Jerte.
Accedes a la garganta después de una ruta de senderismo de dificultad baja de aprox 70 min.

(Translated by Google) It's truly wonderful. Hiking the mountain and then bathing in the pools was an incredible experience.

The castle is definitely worth a visit--the stone work, the views and the (sparse but authentic) furnishings. It's especially worth the very low admission price.
K C — Google review
€3 for an amazing experience. Views from the walls are spectacular. Not to be missed if you are in Trujillo.
Loved it. What a fabulous castle and town for wandering around. The castle walls afford great views and is pretty much all intact, you can go into all the towers with no restrictions. You can easily spend 2 hours here, we did.
You can even spend the night in the adjoining hotel.
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 loved stopping here. There castle cost 3 euros per person to enter. Ha! So cheap, it was laughable. It was worth walking through. The view from the top is worth seeing.
Nice medium sized castle on the top of a hill, the staff there were the best, they are very talkative and informative , kinda feels like they are long time friends and you are just visiting their castle.
Lovely castle just a shame its neglected and has a building site next to it, shame really
Interesting but basic castle. Worth a visit with fantastic views of surrounding area.

Bad rating!!! After I climbed the first steps I was throw away because there were no sign for climbing on stone. The employers don t speak english, not even a word, they just grab you and throw you like a junk outside after you pay the price for visit. I am a tourist and they don t speak or show any rule in english. At least they can warn you about what youre not allowed to do, but they only want the money.
Just a shell but still nice to visit. Could do a lot more to exhibit it and how the town was at the time of construction, its history etc. A model in the town showed how the castle looked.
Closed on Monday
Ok
(Translated by Google) You can park your car near the bus station and walk there.
I only saw the exterior. It's not very big, but it's well-maintained, and walking around it is very pleasant because of the lovely views.
(Original)
Se puede dejar el coche junto a la estación de autobuses y acercarse andando.
Solo pude ver el exterior. No es muy grande pero está bien conservado y pasear alrededor es muy agradable por las bonitas vistas.
(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.
(Original)
Por su situación domina el río y el puente en el punto más elevado del valle. Fue construido sobre un castro vetón, edificado en el siglo XII y reconstruido en los siglos XIV-XV. Es de planta cuadrada y tiene una superficie de unos 1.700 metros cuadrados, sin contar las dependencias desaparecidas como el foso, el contrafoso, el rastrillo, el palomar o las caballerizas.
(Translated by Google) A good place to visit in Barco de Ávila. It's simple, but well-maintained. It has clean, heated restrooms.

Spectacular complex of ancient caves with dramatic limestone formations & paved road entryway.
Stunning caves. Informative guide (Spanish only) and good pace to walk around. We combined with a trip to Segovia and Ávila. Definitely recommend.
Rob L — Google review
Amazing, intimate caves. We basically had a one on one tour. Well preserved, well lit, with a great guide. A hidden gem! Our favorite cave so far, and we’ve visited the ones in Soplao and Slovenia.
100/10
Highly recommend.
There’s guided tours, probably every hour, didn’t ask 😬 but we took the last tour that was at 19hs and it lasted 35 min.
There’s restrooms, vending machines, a restaurant and souvenir shops.
I have visited this place before. The first time was around 45 years ago, the second time about 30 years ago. When I visited today, there are better facilities, e.g. restaurant, bar, gift shop. The tour is a wonderful experience where you can see the beauty of nature. If you don't speak Spanish you might struggle on the tour.
Great tour. Lots to see. Drinks available at the cave entrance and bar cafe at the base near car park. Ample free parking available. Well worth the visit
A must see cave if you in the area, fantastic view and all great illuminated, 7 degrees Celsius all year around and high humidity.
I had been told it was a worthwhile visit, but it beat my expectations by far. Really spectacular caves and formations.
The walk trough the cave is about 30 min and is a really cool atmosphere. Outside the cave there are a lot of geological posters that explain some of the history and formation of the cave.
I managed this pics with an App named Cortex Cam

Forests
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.
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.
Great hikes, a rest from the heat, well signalled.
Calm, relaxing, picknic tables and 3 big parking places, road is quite good, the trails are not so good sign.
Very nice place come early so you can take your car
Loved it. Neat, clean, well maintained

Safari Madrid

Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Safari Madrid offers a family-friendly experience with a variety of animals, including big cats, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and camels. Visitors can drive through the large animal area and feed some of them carrots. There's also a section where kids can feed goats. The adventure includes go-karting and panoramic views of Madrid from 80 cabins that accommodate six people each at 40 meters above the ground.
We went on a day it was raining which was unfortunate…but even then, we had a blast! Went with my 3 and 5 year old and they loved it! Will go back again for sure when the weather is better bc I’m sure more animals will be out!
Victoria F — Google review
A cool place with animals running wild while you drive through. Directly at the start you'll get visited by ostriches that pops there head inside the car looking for carrots. So be sure to buy a few bags before entering. We were also approached by goats, camels and zebras that also wanted their share of our carrots. Beware of the goats though, they will put their front hooves on the car and they will definitely scratch your vehicle. Do not go here with brand new cars as I'm pretty sure no insurance will cover safari damages. The safari also offered snakes, spiders, turtles, frogs and much more. Recommended.
Really great with kids. You get to see and actually interact with lots of animals. If you can carry a bag load of 🥕 to feed some animals.
What a fantastic experience! Our car was filled with young and old, and we were laughing and smiling the whole day. The safari and animals are clearly well cared for, and there are so many opportunities to feed them. The instructions were clear, and the large restaurant area was a great bonus. You’ll need at least 4 hours to really enjoy everything. Strongly recommend!
Unfortunately, in the safari, there is not much control. The above shows that people independently of being told not to feed the animals in this area, people do anyway. Due to this vehicle in the picture, a traffic jam was caused, the animals got greedy, and in my case, the zebras bit my wing mirror.
The animals that were said to be seen were not on the tour. The enclosures for reptiles are small.
Big area where lots of animals like zebras, elephants , rhinos and camels run free and you can see them by car. Some you can feed carrots. Then there is a part with goats you can feed and the kids love this! Although there is a mini zoo where some are in cages :( the poor panthers there were going insane . I hope there is a good reason why they cant be in the wild. There are also crocodiles, snakes, frogs and other reptiles. There are picnic areas where they also sell some snacks.
We really liked this adventure
Kids fed all sorts of animals. We brought carrots and lettuce with us but you can buy at front ticket gate. We also purchased tickets online ahead of time. Sometimes it sells out. Teach kids how to use their windows some animals wanted to reach in your car for more food and or just to make the kids feel safe and they have the power to control who comes close.
We also stopped by the reptile house and it was cool filled with lizards, crocodiles and other animals. We brought a lunch and then kids wanted to do go carts …. I was able to go with our youngest 6 and other two were able to drive by themselves ages 8,10. It was super hot so pack water in the summer time. They did have a couple shops or snack places to purchase things
Short drive from Madrid, but worths the visit. This wide open green area, is more than a simple zoo. Back to Nature eye relaxing destination.It provides an interactive experience feeding the animals, that the kids were crazy about! Organized path for the cars to drive through, feeding the animals safely. Labelling the dangerous zones with clear instructions to keep the windows shut. Entry for adults 19€, 15€ for kids. No family package discounts, but 2€ discount for “kart ride” that costs 12€ for double seat car, 7€ for kids. I highly suggest buying some carrot before arriving to feed the animals. You can buy it on the spot, but it will be more expensive. And bring a lot! You will enjoy it! Check the weather before your visit and bring your lunch for picnic meal. Many available wooden tables. Highly recommended for families. I liked it much more than Madrid traditional zoo.
