Majestic City steeped in history. I only spent a little over an hour here on our and I already want to come back and spend a day or 2 exploring the many sites and quaint shops.

Mirador del Valle in Toledo is absolutely breathtaking. Perched across the Tagus River, it offers a panoramic view of the historic city that feels almost surreal, golden stone buildings, cathedral spires, and ancient walls glowing in the sunlight or sparkling in the evening lights. The view alone is worth the trip to Toledo. I visited with my best friend, and it was one of the most memorable moments of our time in Spain. Standing there together, overlooking the old city, we felt the quiet beauty and deep history radiating from every corner. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, conversation, and capturing unforgettable photos. There’s a peacefulness at Mirador del Valle that allows you to pause and take it all in: the past, the present, and the joy of shared experiences. The site is accessible by car, or a scenic walk if you’re up for it. I highly recommend timing your visit around sunset for the most magical lighting. Whether you’re traveling solo or with someone close, this viewpoint is a must-see. It’s not just about the view, but the feeling you get while looking at it. For us, it was pure wonder -- an unforgettable highlight of our trip.

Amazing view point to have a lovely panoramic view of Toledo city and the Tagus river that flows around it. Toledo, Spain, an ancient city known for its historical, cultural, and architectural significance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Parking available, so you don't have to walk. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Great place for photography. Level terrain. Free entry. Good wheelchair access.

The Mirador del Valle in Toledo, Spain, offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. During our family visit in January 2024, we were captivated by the stunning vistas of the historic city, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The viewpoint, easily accessible, served as an ideal starting point for our walk around Toledo. The history of the city was palpable, with its blend of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish influences evident in the architecture. We took numerous photos, each one capturing the unique charm of the city from different angles. The Mirador del Valle not only provided a scenic backdrop but also served as a gateway to immerse ourselves in Toledo's rich cultural heritage. Our experience was made all the more enjoyable by the well-maintained facilities and the friendly locals. The visit was a highlight of our trip, offering a profound appreciation for the historical significance and natural beauty of Toledo. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Mirador del Valle for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching experience.

A very small museum dedicated to the spanish involvement in the apollo missions. Unfortunately it is not at the actual site of the antennas and it is exclusively in spanish. I would have also preferred more technical exhibits and explanations, but the existing ones were good. This museum is good if you need a break on a road trip.

Safari Madrid

Mentioned on

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.
Björn R — Google review
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.
Stanley O — Google review
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!
Ramona A — Google review
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.
Luis N — Google review
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.
Deborah L — Google review
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
Amanda D — Google review
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.

Barrancas de Castrejón y Calaña

Nature preserve
Outdoor Activities
Gorges & ravines characterize this natural reserve, which offers hiking & striking views.
This place is an absolute must see, I would recommend you to spend an afternoon here if you are close to Toledo. We went here in December on a foggy afternoon and as the weather cleared out and the sun started to lighten the mountains, it really took our breath. We only see 4 people here through our 2-3 hour walk so it is not congested to say the least. We parked our car at the place which is marked on Google maps as 'Aparcamiento Barrancas De Burujón' and walked up to 'Mirador del Cambrón' which took about 15 minutes. (You probably could directly come to this point with your car if there are only a few people there. I have added a picture about the road which leads you here.) There are 3 or 4 viewing spots with barriers where you can go the edges and take nice pictures. These viewing spots are about 5-10 minutes walking distance from each other and you can see the next one from the previous one. Between the viewing spots there are no barriers on the edges of the cliffs so this could be very dangerous with children who run around unadvised, so keep your children, dog etc close to you and follow the marked road. There is a picnic possibility with tables at the last viewing spot. There is no shadow and no trees to hide from the sunshine throughout this journey which could be a problem in the summer. Some trees have already been planted but it will take years till they become big enough. Visiting in the afternoon is recommended because the sunshine will lighten the cliffs from the right angle according to other guides. Favourite moment: The whole place was undisturbed by any human activity and you could here the birds from miles away but we also heard a cowbell which we could not understand. Later we saw the source of the sound which was a goat on one of the distant cliffs eating grass. God knows how it got there. :) (I've added a picture of it if you want to check it out.)

El Bosque Encantado

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Playground
Nature & Parks
El Bosque Encantado is a delightful theme park that offers botanical gardens with various walking trails and living plant sculptures, including metal structures covered by plants that form different figures. The park also features a tranquil waterfall adding to its scenic beauty. It is an ideal place to take small children who find delight in exploring the hidden corners of the garden filled with trees trimmed into different kinds of animals, flowers and stones. The landscape is stunning, filled with fresh air making it perfect for relaxation and exploration.
We had a wonderful time seeing the 320 or so sculptures in the various themed areas during both the day and night. Although we are adults I found it absolutely magical at night with both the illuminations and music. They seem to have quite a few challenges to maintain the park with weather phenomenons, for example 'Storm Philomena', as well as fungus and water issues. I soon learnt too that some of the topiary that appeared to have extra growth that needs trimming is in fact being grown to repair. Given that clearly many staff are needed to run and maintain the enchanted forest as well as the cost of upkeep including walkways, I felt that the entrance fee is justified. We spent 2 to 2.5 hrs going around though could easily have spent longer. There are mist showers too to cool off a little though the shade provided by the various areas is welcome in the summer heat. There is a 5€ gift card available to buy for presents if you've visited. There is also the option to buy magnifying glasses for 5€ deposit. There is a large free car park just before the entrance. Once inside there are toilets and a snack 'merienda' area.

Very nice place ... superb location.. amid mountains and forests .. good choice for a day trip from Madrid with friends and family The scriptures made of grass and plants are world class ... fine finishing .. theme based zones and a very interesting maze Plenty of sit out area inside and Plenty of parking space outside Washroom was clean and maintained How to reach - Best way is by car On public transportation from Madrid you need to come to San Martin de valdeiglasis (small town) by Bus, and then walk up the hill (almost 2 KM) Though it’s really pleasant walk , though little tiring It takes around 1 hour and 15 minuets to reach from Principie Pio station Madrid to this small yet beautiful town Only week aspect the very few (close to no) food option, there is cafe that serve nice Coffee, beer and refreshments... though it is also (named as) pizzeria, but pizza is not always available... So high recommendation that you carry some food (or you have to climb down to town for food) Nice place to spend 2-4 hours

Definitely worth it, especially if you have children!! Totally worth the price! Parking was ample. The gardens are well kept. The only thing missing was an open restaurant (closed she we were there). There are so many sculptures, that you can't spend less than two hours there. Tip: take snacks and water just in case.

A really nice fairy tail themed place. It s a really nice place to go with your children or in couple for a romantic afternoon. The place is medium as size and if you want to see everything and also take some nice photos, the visit can go up to 2-3 hours. The exponates are nice but they could do a better job on maintenance. I also think that it could be a interesting place to visit after dark. The price is ok - fair.

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.

The team who works there were very nice and gave me some additional information. There is a room where you can see a movie about the building history of the castle and in what series took place here. On the first floor there is very good exhibition about the castle. They took a lot work to make that castle beautiful again and made it interesting. The price is more than worth it.

The Castle De La Adrada is located in the Avila town of La Adrada . It consists of a wall and an interior enclosure in which a Gothic church originally existed, the possible origin of the fortification. This inner church dates from the 14th century, while the surrounding wall appears to be from the 15th century. This outer wall began to be built at the end of the 14th century by the Constable Ruy López Dávalos , who was granted the town of La Adrada by Enrique III of Castile . The castle passed into the hands of Don Álvaro de Luna during the reign ofJuan II of Castile , and Beltrán de la Cueva under the reign of Enrique IV of Castile . In the 17th century it came to belong to the Casa Montijo and in the 19th century to the Casa de Alba . After being subjected to an intense process of deterioration, the castle was ceded to the City Council of La Adrada and has been restored and rehabilitated. It currently houses the Tiétar Valley Historical Interpretation Center.

(Translated by Google) The castle is beautiful from the outside. It's a shame it's so neglected, because it's truly stunning. You can also see a lot of dirt around it, and if you look inside, there's a new, nondescript, abandoned building. It looks like they invested a lot of money, then pocketed just as much, only to leave it abandoned. It's a shame, really, because it would be a beautiful attraction to visit. (Original) El castillo por afuera es precioso, una pena que lo tengan tan abandonado por que es una pasada, también se ve que hay bastante suciedad alrededor de el y si te asomas adentro hay un edificio nuevo, que no pinta nada y abandonado. Tiene pinta que invirtieron mucho dinero del cual se llevaron otro tanto al bolsillo y se kedo abandonado. Una pena la verdad, por que sería un reclamo precioso para ir a ver.

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place. It is very well reconstructed and preserved. The shame is the interior. It is well explained, through information panels. On the wall you can see remains of Roman origin (Original) Es un lugar precioso. Esta muy bien reconstruido y conservado. La pena es el interior. Esta bien explicado, mediante paneles informativos. En la muralla se pueden apreciar restos de origen romano

(Translated by Google) I was surprised. Despite its abandonment for centuries, it is preserved quite well. Very interesting to walk around. Living history and great unknown of the Spanish citadels (Original) Me sorprendió. A pesar de su abandono durante siglos se conserva bastante bien. Muy interesante dar una vuelta alrededor.

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.

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.
Bev M — Google review
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.

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

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.
Marco A — Google review
Not worth the trip on purpose. Only 3 rooms are spectacular, namely the Sacristia. You only can visit as a group organised by themselves but it is not clear what the times are. Mine was at 15.40 but left later. Kids above 7 pay a ticket but again information was unclear. The person that took us inside barely talked so you only had the leaflet in Spanish with limited information about the rooms to guide you. Given that it is world heritage since 1993 more work should have been done in labelling pantings, sculptures, statues, etc. Guides in other languages should be made available. No photos allowed except in patio.

Cementerio Soldados Alemanes

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Cementerio Soldados Alemanes is a fascinating and serene resting place for German soldiers who lost their lives during World War I and II, located in Spain. This unique cemetery stands out from typical Spanish burial sites due to its meticulous upkeep and tranquil ambiance. Nestled near the Monastery of Yuste, it offers visitors a reflective experience as they walk through the graves of young men far from their homeland.
A calm place with a peaceful atmosphere. Its the Central cementery for only German soldiers in Spanish soil which died in Spain during WW I & II. Many of them lost their lives at SEA and get buried on the spots where they got found. In early 80ies all where centralized here in YUSTE.

Unexpected German cemetery close to the monastery of Yusto. The cemetery was created through a bilateral agreement between Spain and Germany in the 1980s, where all the bodies in Spain of German soldiers of WWI and WWII were moved to this cemetery.

An eerie peaceful silent surrounds the desolated graveyard where a number of young German soldiers rest in peace far away from the motherland, close to the last home of their Emperor, Charles I of Spain and V of Germany.

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.

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.

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.

Barrio Judío de Hervás, also known as the Jewish Quarter of Hervás, is a picturesque and historically rich neighborhood in Spain. During the Middle Ages, it was home to a thriving Jewish community, with remnants of this heritage still visible today. The cobblestone streets and hidden squares offer a glimpse into its past. Visitors can stumble upon the old synagogue tucked away in a side alley and immerse themselves in the stories shared by locals.
A fantastic neighborhood to wander through and explore. Wonderful backdrop of the Gredos Mountains and autumn colours everywhere.

This part of the village is a must see when visiting the village. It is the Jewish part of the village and the buildings are very nice. Very historic in nature and I would highly recommend a visit to the Jewish part of the village. You can see small details on the buildings which are worth the photographs and visit.

I encountered the old synagogue completely by chance! Hidden away in a side alley. This village and it's old "Juderia", Jewish neighbourhood, is very, very picturesque and the local people enjoy telling history and sharing stories.

Parque Nacional de Monfragüe

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!

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!

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
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 .
Zeta K — Google review
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.

Brian S — Google review
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.
Richard B — Google review
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.

Teatro Romano de Medellín

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
A hidden jewel of Roman architecture within rural Spain, relatively recently unearthed, rather small, when compared to the one in Mérida, and not in the best condition, still used as an actual theatre. The church and museum within the theatre complex deserve especial mention, on account of the aesthetic pleasure it means, plus the valuable learning experience, about this amazing place's history, as a theatre due Ng the Roman empire, and a medieval neighbourhood later on. Easy parking near it.
José S — Google review
Average experience. 3 euros to enter the small museum and the Roman amphitheater. But overall worth a short visit to see more of the history of the area. My review can be read in full on my travel blog, Two Passports Packed.

Churches & Cathedrals
The Cathedral of Santa Maria, a 15th-century Gothic masterpiece, is a must-see in Caceres. Inside, visitors can admire the iconic Black Christ statue and climb the bell tower for stunning city views. Surrounding the cathedral, the old quarter reveals historic mansions like Golfines de Abajo and Carvajal, as well as Casa de las Veletas which now houses the Museum of Caceres featuring works by Picasso and Miro.
A bit pricy on the $7 entrance fee. The interior was magnificent! The view on the top of tower was well worth the climb. Would like to show my appreciation to Andrea who was very helpful and friendly.
Tony S — Google review
The cathedral was smaller than we thought. It has features that are very similar to those in Salamanca. The tower ‘views’ are underwhelming since they have installed iron gates that impede you from reaching the wall.
Jose L — Google review
The interiors of this church was quite interesting. But what made it worth paying the entry fee was the view from the tower. Absolutely stunning view on the old town.
Flo — Google review
Small cathedral that punches above its weight. Wonderful Gothic vaults and a unique alter piece. The climb up the tower is worth it for the great views over Caceres. It also features a nice museum with an impressive array of pieces of religious art. Keep an eye on the floor, which contains many grave markers of past church benefactors.
David O — Google review
First Catholic church that I would need to pay to be able to enter. Most cities are now making even museums entry free to attract more tourists. This looks more of a local church, for local people (that have pesetas)

This beautiful 15th century, gothic Santa Maria Co-Cathedral in Caceres has an impressive Renaissance altarpiece in cedar wood by Roque Balduque.
Jesper A — Google review
The local cathedral in Cáceres also known as Santa Iglesia Concatedral de Santa Maria was closed when I went to visit (August lunchtime). Nevertheless, the simplicity of its Gothic exterior adorned with gargoyles, was a joy to admire. Construction on the cathedral began in the 13th century and was completed in the 16th.

A beautiful cathedral church. Reasonable €4 to enter but you do get audio guide and access to the bell tower for that, where you can ring a bell!

Old Town of Cáceres

Historical landmark

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.
Duncan P — Google review
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.

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. There several monuments of Cultural Interest inside: the co-cathedral of Saint Mary, the church of St Francis Javier, and several palaces and museums.

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 😄)

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.
Richard L — Google review
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.
Caspar D — Google review
Great bronze age pieces. Amazing museum for a smaller city. The 6,000 year old carved idol. The Roman and Visigothic pieces.
Marcus J — Google review
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.

Michael M — Google review
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.

Arco de la Estrella is a medieval stone arch in Caceres, featuring a Catholic shrine and ramparts that overlook the walled city. It was built in the 18th century on an arch from the 15th century, with Baroque style by Manuel de Larra Churriguera. The arch has great amplitude and skew to facilitate the way of carriages to the Monumental City.
