The nuns are so cute! Definitely worth coming to find out about the history and buying sweets from them
Nice little museum about the Santa Clara monastry. Hidden away in a corner at the right hand side of the entrance is a little shop of the nuns, where the sell mostly pastries. Entrance is free.
Very nice convent. The informative panels are clearly biased in favour of the aristocratic family that founded the convent. You can however get an idea of the history of the order and the family by re-interpreting and adding a bit of objective sense to all the heavenly praises dedicated to the aristocratic house and the order.
Excellent museum in Zafra, donation entry
(Translated by Google) Although I didn't have much time on my visit and I was barely able to stop to visit it in peace, it seems that we found a quite interesting Museum. There is a large amount of information, paintings and we can even visit part of the Convent, such as the temple. It's free to enter and the staff was very friendly. This convent dates back to the 15th century and is in the Mudejar style. (Original) Aunque en mi visita no iba con mucho tiempo y apenas pude detenerme a visitarlo con tranquilidad, se ve que nos encontramos con un Museo bastante interesante. Hay una gran cantidad de información, cuadros e incluso podemos visitar parte del Convento, como es el templo. Es de entrada gratuita y el personal fue muy amable. Este convento data del Siglo XV y es de estilo mudéjar.
(Translated by Google) The museum is free to visit, although you can leave a voluntary donation for its preservation. We were amazed by the works housed there, although the lighting was poor and made it difficult to read the explanatory signs. The convent can be visited as long as it doesn't coincide with the nuns' prayer times. I highly recommend it. (Original) El museo se visita de forma gratuita, aunque se puede dejar un donativo voluntario para su conservación. Quedamos sorprendidos con las obras que se custodian en el museo, aunque la iluminación era deficiente y dificultaba leer los letreros explicativos. El convento puede visitarse siempre que no coincida con las horas de oración de las monjas. Lo recomiendo mucho.
(Translated by Google) I loved it. Admission is free although you can leave a donation. In the museum you can see paintings and pieces of great beauty. You can see the cell where the nuns slept. The church is beautiful and leaving the museum (although within the same premises) is the store where you can buy sweets made by the nuns. (Original) Me ha encantado. La entrada es gratuita aunque puedes dejar un donativo. En el museo se pueden contemplar pinturas y piezas de gran belleza. Se puede ver la celda donde dormían las monjitas. La iglesia es una preciosidad y saliendo del museo (aunque dentro del mismo recinto) está la tienda donde se pueden comprar dulces hechos por las monjas.

Another great town in the badajoz province
(Translated by Google) This arch is the one that opens in what was the northern gate of the wall, the one that opened onto the road to Badajoz, hence its name. It has an image of Santiago. What really stands out is the tower. Once we have crossed the arch we enter Tetuan Street which takes us to Plaza Grande. (Original) Este arco es el que se abre en lo que fue la puerta norte de la muralla, la que se abría al camino de Badajoz, de ahí su nombre. Tiene una imagen de Santiago. Lo que realmente llama la atención es el torreón. Una vez franqueado el arco entramos en la calle Tetuan que nos lleva a ka Plaza Grande.
(Translated by Google) A good place for a night + also large car park for waste water + loading (Original) Un buon posto per una notte anche + ampio parcheggio scarico acque +carico
(Translated by Google) One of the gateways to medieval Zafra. A must-see. (Original) Una de las puertas de entrada a la Zafra medieval . Imprescindible su visita
(Translated by Google) North gate of Zafra. Built in the 15th century. It is a discreet arch, almost that stands out more in this place, the wall that continues followed by the arch. (Original) Puerta norte de Zafra. Construida en el siglo XV. Es un arco discreto, casi que destaca más en este lugar, la muralla que continúa seguida del arco.
(Translated by Google) The Arco del Cubo de Zafra corresponds to what was the north gate of the town of Zafra, the Puerta de Badajoz, perhaps the most important gate the town had. The arch itself is a late work (17th century) since the old door was in the tower attached to the arch, in which is the equestrian figure of Santiago Matamoros (the Feria were very close to the Order of Santiago) and below the same the arch of what was the real door. (Original) El Arco del Cubo de Zafra corresponde a la que fuera puerta norte de la villa de Zafra, la Puerta de Badajoz, quizás la más importante de las que tuvo la villa. El arco en sí es obra tardía (siglo XVII) pues la antigua puerta estaba en el torreón anejo el arco, en el cual se encuentra la figura ecuestre de Santiago Matamoros (los Feria estuvieron muy unidos a la Orden de Santiago) y debajo de la misma el arco de la que fue la verdadera puerta.
(Translated by Google) This arch is located at the end of Tetuán street, in front of the Church of the Santísimo Cristo del Rosario, being a work from the 17th century, and constituting the Badajoz gate, the most important that the town had, which was originally in the attached tower, which was built between 1426 and 1442. It has been recently restored and currently shows its original appearance. In April 2019, an Interpretation Center was inaugurated inside, which aims to disseminate the history of the city. Next to the arch we find the picturesque restaurant La Marquesa, located in an old mill, a spectacular place and highly recommended if we find ourselves in that area at lunch time. (Original) Este arco se encuentra situado al final de la calle Tetuán, frente a la Iglesia del Santísimo Cristo del Rosario, siendo una obra del siglo XVII, y constituyendo la puerta de Badajoz, la más importante que tuvo la población, que estuvo en un principio en el torreón anexo, que fue levantado entre 1426 y 1442. Ha sido restaurado hace poco y en la actualidad luce con su fisonomía original. En abril de 2019 se inauguró en su interior un Centro de Interpretación, que tiene como objeto difundir la historia de la ciudad. Junto al arco encontramos el pintoresco restaurante La Marquesa, ubicado en un antiguo molino, sitio espectacular y muy recomendable si nos encontramos por esa zona a la hora de comer.
(Translated by Google) A very interesting tower and arch structure giving access to the walled city and in very good condition. (Original) Una estructura de torre y arco de acceso a la ciudad amurallada muy interesante y en muy buen estado de conservación

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful entrance gate to the old town, it is the only gate that is preserved as such of those that the wall had, construction began in 1426. and it takes its name from the town of Jerez de los Caballeros. Above the arch is a chapel of the Christ of Humility and Patience. Once you pass the arch, you arrive at what for me is the most beautiful street in the city. (Original) Muy bonita puerta de entrada al casco antiguo, es la única puerta que se conserva como tal de las que tuvo la muralla se empezó a construir en 1426. y toma su nombre de la villa de Jerez de los Caballeros. Sobre el arco se sitúa una capilla del Cristo de la Humildad y Paciencia.Una vez pasas el arco, llegas a la que para mí es la calle más bonita de la ciudad
(Translated by Google) Beautiful medieval street, Calle Jerez, with Callejita del Clavel in the background on the left, with windows covered in flowers that starts from the Plaza Chica and ends at the Puerta de Jerez, since it opened onto the road to Jerez de los Caballeros. It is a beautiful white arch, topped by a chapel and a belfry. (Original) Preciosa calle medieval la Calle Jerez,con la Callejita del Clavel al fondo a la izquierda, con ventanas cubiertas de flores que arranca de la Plaza Chica y acaba en la Puerta de Jerez, puesto que se abría al camino de Jerez de los Caballeros. Es un bonito arco blanco, rematado por una capilla y una espadaña.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful well-preserved arch, which overlooks a street, full of flowers. Great tourist attraction of Zafra. Above the arch we find a chapel, with two sculptures on the sides and a belfry with a bell, crowned by a large stork's nest. This arch dates from between the 15th-17th centuries. (Original) Precioso arco bien conservado, que da a una calle, llena de flores. Gran atractivo turístico de Zafra. Sobre el arco encontramos una capilla, con dos esculturas a los lados y una espadaña con una campana, coronada por un gran nido de cigüeña. Este arco data de entre los siglos XV-XVII.
(Translated by Google) One of the places I like the most in Zafra, a medieval door of intense white followed by a street of houses of the same color and with the vision of a bell tower at the end. One of these places that must be visited. (Original) Uno de los lugares que más me gustan de Zafra, una puerta medieval de un blanco intenso seguida de una calle de casas del mismo color y con la visión de un campanario al final. Uno de estos lugares que deben visitarse.
(Translated by Google) The well-preserved ancient gate to the medieval city. A very beautiful historical monument. (Original) Старовинні ворота у середньовічне місто які добре збереглися. Дуже красива історична пам'ятка.
(Translated by Google) Entrance gate to the walled city of Zafra on the way to Jerez de los Caballeros. Placexclose to Plaza Chica. The street that leads to the door has some balconies decorated with flowers... It is worth it. (Original) Puerta de entrada a la ciudad amurallada de Zafra camino de Jerez de los Caballeros. Lugarxcercano a la Plaza Chica. La calle que da a la puerta tiene algunos balcones adornados con flores..Merece la pena.

Well preserved old church - quiet, relaxing - good for silent reading, praying and self reflection.
Beautiful church.
(Translated by Google) The largest church in Zafra. Due to its size you could almost say a cathedral. Highlight its main altar, its highly valuable paintings, its floor covered with tombs and its tower. An essential church to see. (Original) La iglesia más grande de Zafra. Por tamaño casi se podría decir catedral. Destacar su altar mayor, sus cuadros de gran valor, su suelo cubierto por sepulturas y su torre. Una iglesia imprescindible para ver.
(Translated by Google) You can't leave Zafra without visiting this church. You'll find paintings by Zurbarán in the altarpiece of the captive. Also impressive are the main altar and the chapel at the foot of the church. (Original) No puedes irte de Zafra sin visitar esta Iglesia. En ella encontrarás pinturas de Zurbarán en el retablo del cautivo. Además, impresiona su altar mayor y la capilla que se encuentra a los pies de la Iglesia.
(Translated by Google) Given its size, it could even be considered a cathedral, but it's a parish church. It was a collegiate church (the first step before becoming a cathedral) but was eventually demoted to a parish church. Its construction is quite humble, and the bell tower is clearly of a later date; inside, it houses works by Zurbarán. Its exterior is sparsely decorated, and as far as I know, it's closed to the public. Nevertheless, it's an iconic building in Zafra and a great example of art in the city. (Original) Por su tamaño podría ser hasta catedral pero es parroquia. Fue colegiata(el paso antes de ser catedral) pero finalmente fue descendida a parroquia. Su construcción es bastante humilde y se nota que el campanario es posterior, en su interior alberga obras de Zurbarán. Su exterior esta escasamente decorado y que yo sepa esta cerrado para visitas, aún así es un edificio icónico de Zafra y una gran muestra de arte en la ciudad.
(Translated by Google) The most important church in Zafra, Gothic in style, well preserved, and containing a treasure within it: Zurbaran's paintings. (Original) La Iglesia más importante de Zafra, de estilo gótico, bien conservada, y que guarda en su interior un tesoro, que son los lienzos de Zurbaran.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, but many people forget about the chapel in the back left, which houses the Virgin of Valvanera, patron saint of La Rioja. It was built by the people of Cameroon who arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Original) Preciosa, pero mucha gente se olvida de una capilla en la parte de atrás a la izquierda en la que esta la Virgen de Valvanera patrona de La Rioja. La mandaron hacer los cameranos que llegaron en los s. XVI y XVII

(Translated by Google) Mudejar house from the 15th century on a street in the Plaza Chica. It gets its name from the arched window divided by a column, a cistern. Originally it was a pharmacy, hence the name of the street (Calle Botica) today it is the Tourist Reception Center. Unfortunately it was closed and we could not access the interior. (Original) Casa mudejar del s.XV en una boca calle de la Plaza Chica. Recibe ese nombre por la ventana arqueada dividida por una columna, un aljimez. En su origen fue una botica, de ahí el nombre de la calle (calle Botica)hoy es el Centro de Acogida del Turista. Lamentablemente estaba cerrado y no pudimos acceder al interior.
Beautiful building, but also a fascinating presentation of the social and commercial development of Zafra throughout the centuries up to modern times.
(Translated by Google) A typical Mudejar building, currently used as a pharmacy. The use of brick, the lobed arches, and the pilastered light fixtures reveal a culture that inhabited these lands for many years, leaving its mark. A wonderful building. (Original) Típico edificio Mudéjar, que actualmente tiene uso de Farmacia. El uso del ladrillo, de los arcos lobulados y los parte luces de pilastras, nos evidencian una cultura que habitó en estas tierras durante muchos años, dejando su impronta. Maravilloso edificio.
(Translated by Google) A very interesting place to see the history of Zafra, with free entry. The man who welcomed us was very kind and his attention and explanations were very good, I recommend the explanation of the model of the entrance. It's to have a good time. It has three floors. Some of the interactive elements are somewhat deteriorated. (Original) Un lugar muy interesante para ver la historia de Zafra, con entrada gratuita. El señor que nos recibió fue muy amable y su atención y explicaciones fueron muy buenas, recomiendo la explicación de la maqueta de la entrada. Es para echarle un buen rato. Tiene tres plantas. Algunos de los elementos interactivos están algo deteriorados.
(Translated by Google) Very close to the small square, we saw it and approached it but it was closed, still a beautiful façade, part of the history of the city Mudejar house from the 15th century. It was closed and we couldn't get in. (Original) Muy cerca de la plaza chica, la vimos y nos acercamos pero estaba cerrada, aún así bonita fachada, parte de la historia de la ciudad Casa mudéjar del siglo XV. Estaba cerrada y no pudimos entrar
(Translated by Google) It's located in the town of Zafra (Badajoz), very close to the main square. It's well worth a visit. (Original) Se encuentra en el pueblo de Zafra (Badajoz), muy cerca de la plaza central. Merece la pena verla.
(Translated by Google) Named after its “Ajimez”, an arched window divided by a marble column. Several lobes form the Mudejar style arches. The façade is from the 15th century, a work of Mudejar art. Dual-purpose housing: commercial (ground floor) and private (upstairs). During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries it housed the town's pharmacies. Called “Marble Apothecary” due to the existence of a marble tombstone of Roman origin, which surely served as a counter and can currently be seen in the patio. (Original) Llamada así por su  “Ajimez”, ventana arqueada dividida por una columna de mármol. Varios lóbulos forman los arcos de estilo mudéjar. La fachada es del siglo XV, una obra de arte mudéjar. Vivienda de doble finalidad: comercial (planta baja) y privada (planta alta). Durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII albergó las boticas de la villa. Denominada “Botica del Mármol”  por la existencia de una lápida de mármol de procedencia romana, que seguramente servía de mostrador y que actualmente puede verse en el patio.
(Translated by Google) A cozy place with a lot of history. On the ground floor there is a miniature version of the town from a few years ago, a room with the remains of an old press and figures of important people from the town. On the two upper floors there is information, photos and objects both about the town in yesteryear and its evolution in the last century. In addition, the heat of the season was appreciated by the air conditioning throughout the building. The only negative point is that the audio panels cannot be used. But otherwise, great. (Original) Un sitio acogedor y con mucha historia. En la planta de abajo se encuentra una versión en miniatura del pueblo hace unos años, una sala con los restos de una prensa antigua y figuras de personajes importantes del pueblo. En las dos plantas superiores hay información, fotos y objetos tanto del pueblo en antaño como la evolución en el último siglo. Además se agradecía con el calor de la estación el aire acondicionado en todo el edificio. El único punto negativo es que los paneles de audio no se pueden usar. Pero por lo demás, genial.

(Translated by Google) The museum is very interesting because it combines the explanation on panels with real utensils. In addition, it has a very successful logical sequence. The selfless contribution of those who have made it possible is appreciated. You can spend almost the entire morning learning about the history of Medicine. As an aspect that could be improved, I suggest updating the application to download the QR codes.

(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful and very beautiful city with many ancient stories (Original) Es una ciudad maravillosa y muy bonita con muchas historias antiguas
(Translated by Google) I had an appointment to renew my ID at 1:48 PM, and I arrived early, naively thinking it would help speed up the process. The employee who helped me—a young man with curly, dark hair—very carefully noticed that my bangs were touching my eyebrows and, with the authority he seemed to enjoy wielding, indicated that I should take another photo. I asked if I would have time, and he assured me with absolute certainty that I would. Twenty minutes later (record time to get home, get ready, go through the photo booth, and return, parking at 2:23 PM), I found the door closing. The same employee, who was so convinced I had plenty of time, looked at me as if he'd never seen me before, asked with feigned surprise, "Who are you?" and, after reminding him of the reason, closed the door in my face with a copy of "Make an appointment another day." I wasn't expecting last-minute miracles, but rather something as basic as consistency and a minimum of politeness. However, what I received was a display of arrogance, disinterest, and an air of superiority unbecoming of someone representing the public administration. It's striking how a simple formality becomes a demonstration of personal power by an employee who seems more concerned with marking their territory than providing professional service. It's a shame that citizens are relegated to being treated with indifference and condescension, as if they were bothering me by fulfilling their obligation to renew an official document. In short: more than a civil servant, he seemed like a nightclub bouncer closing the door at will. It's a very illustrative example of the concept of "citizen service," which, unfortunately, I had to experience firsthand. (Original) Tenía cita para renovar mi DNI a las 13:48 y llegué antes de la hora, pensando ingenuamente que eso ayudaría a agilizar el trámite. El funcionario que me atendió —un joven de pelo rizado y moreno— detectó con gran minuciosidad que mi flequillo rozaba las cejas y, con la autoridad que parecía disfrutar ejercer, me indicó que debía hacerme otra foto. Pregunté si me daría tiempo y, con total seguridad, me aseguró que sí. Veinte minutos después (tiempo récord para volver a casa, prepararme, pasar por el fotomatón y regresar, aparcando a las 14:23), me encontré con la puerta cerrándose. El mismo trabajador, que tan convencido estaba de que me sobraba tiempo, me miró como si nunca me hubiera visto, preguntó con fingida sorpresa “¿quién eres?” y, tras recordarle el motivo, me cerró la puerta en la cara con un ejemplar “pide cita otro día”. No esperaba milagros de última hora, pero sí algo tan básico como coherencia y un mínimo de educación. Sin embargo, lo que recibí fue un despliegue de arrogancia, desinterés y aires de superioridad impropios de alguien que representa a la Administración pública. Resulta llamativo cómo un simple trámite se convierte en una demostración de poder personal por parte de un trabajador que parece más preocupado por marcar territorio que por atender con profesionalidad. Una pena que el ciudadano quede relegado a ser tratado con indiferencia y condescendencia, como si molestara por cumplir con su obligación de renovar un documento oficial. En definitiva: más que un funcionario, parecía un portero de discoteca cerrando la puerta a discreción. Muy ilustrativo del concepto de “atención al ciudadano” que, por desgracia, tuve que vivir en primera persona
(Translated by Google) A very emblematic town hall, located in the center of the city, next to a beautiful church, La Candelaria. The town hall is accessed from a small square, it is a recently rebuilt and very well renovated building. Behind its wooden doors there is a large patio where various works are eventually exhibited. (Original) Un ayuntamiento muy emblematico, situado en el centro de la ciudad, junto a una preciosa iglesia, La Candelaria. Se accede desde una pequeña plaza al ayuntamiento, es un edificio recientemente reconstruido y muy bien reformado. Tras sus puertas de madera se encuentra un amplio patio donde eventualmente se exponen diversas obras.
(Translated by Google) We do not understand how it is possible that on fair day there is no one regulating the circulation and pedestrians at the entrances, which causes cars to stop for more than 10 minutes and people come to pass, and the guards posted at the entrances do nothing to help. One who arrives leaves, it is painful, bad organization on the part of the responsible people and the city council...and the government team, a cordial greeting Juan Manuel Mariano (Original) No entendemos como es posible que el día de feria no haya nadie regulando la circulación y los peatones en las entradas, lo cual hace que los coches paren más de 10 minutos y la gente venga pasar,y loa guardias puestos en las entradas para nada para uno que llega se va ,es penoso mala organización por parte de la gente responsable y del ayuntamiento...y del equipo del gobierno,un cordial saludo Juan Manuel mariano
(Translated by Google) We went on Sunday, July 18, to the Santa Clara convent museum, around 1:00 p.m., and it was closed, although the official closing time is 2:00 p.m. A nun from the convent store informed us that the museum is managed by the city council and she did not know why it was closed. We called the town hall but no one answered us. We went to the tourist office, which according to the hours is open until 2:00 p.m. We arrived at 1:10 p.m. and it was closed. Welcome to Zafra!!!! (Original) Fuimos el domingo 18 de julio al museo del convento de Santa Clara, sobre las 13:00, y estaba cerrado, aunque el horario oficial de cierre son las 14:00.

(Translated by Google) It is a magnificent building with fond memories, as its offices on the upper floor were once classrooms, and it was there, among the corridors, orange trees, and the scent of orange blossom, that I spent my childhood. (Original) Es un edificio magnífico y con un entrañable recuerdo para mí, pues sus oficinas de la planta superior, un día fueron aulas y en ellas, entre corredores, naranjos y olor a azahar, transcurrieron mis días de infancia.

(Translated by Google) Pilar near the Plaza del Alcázar. It denotes age, but is perfectly preserved. It is large and at the time of the visit it had water.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise; it's not on tourist maps, but it's worth visiting for its architecture and history. (Original) Grata sorpresa, no se encuentra en los planos turísticos, pero merece la pena por su arquitectura y su historia
(Translated by Google) This pillar was built mainly to supply water to the residents of the Palace/Castle of the Dukes of Feria. Initially it was much closer to the aforementioned building. It was later moved further back. Together with the Pilar de San Benito, of similar construction, they draw water from a spring near the Sierra de los Santos. Even in times of drought they have not stopped providing water, clean, fresh and drinkable for the two or three years that each one has. Each of them has two bodies, one for collecting water for personal use and another elongated body for supplying animals such as donkeys, horses, mares, etc. Currently the Duke's pillar pours water into the park that is close to the duck lake: in the past it poured water into a fountain located exactly where the Ibercaja building is built today and behind it it formed a huge lake surrounded by eucalyptus trees located in the park itself. park. (Original) Este pilar, se construyó principalmente para abastecer de agua a los residentes en el Palacio/Castillo de los Duques de Feria. Inicialmente se encontraba mucho más cerca del referido edificio. Fue movido más atrás posteriormente. Junto con el Pilar de San Benito, de construcción semejante, toman el agua de un manantial cercano a la sierra de los santos. Incluso en épocas de sequía no han dejado de echar agua, limpia, fresca y potable por los dos o tres años que cada uno posee. Cada uno de ellos tiene dos cuerpos, uno para la recogida de agua para uso personal y otro cuerpo alargado para el abastecimiento de animales como burros caballos, yeguas, etcétera. Actualmente el pilar del duque vierte agua al parque que está próximo hasta el lago de los patos: antiguamente vertía el agua hacia una fuente situada justamente donde hoy está construido el edificio de Ibercaja y tras él formaba un enorme lago rodeado de eucaliptos ubicado en el propio parque.
(Translated by Google) It is a pillar from the 15th century that, despite this, still works, there are people who continue to fill jugs from the pillar.

(Translated by Google) A very old pillar and one of the largest in Zafra. With several pipes for personal water and an external one that leads to a very large trough where the ranchers came with their animals to drink water.

Con varios caños para agua personal y uno más externo que da a un abrevadero muy grande donde se acercaban los ganaderos con sus animales para que bebieran agua.
