The winery offers informative and fun tours showcasing its beauty, along with impressive wine production and tasting sessions. Visitors can also explore the wine yards and hunting grounds for wild boars, deers, and mouflons. The hotel on-site provides hospitable service, great food, and a wonderful experience overall.
We took the whole package, visiting the wine yards, hunting grounds for wild boars, deers and mouflons (guided tour, however you go with your own car). The wine production and final tasting was impressive as this place is highly industrial. Spa, evening party, all very well done. However, nothing is perfect and the waitress at the lobby bar was not the most friendly.

We did with a group of friends the experience "Puesta del Sol" tasting, and I have to say that we are completely disappointed and feel cheated. We paid a total of 207 euros for 3 tastings - the "Puesta del Sol" which " should include"music, a blind tasting, and a food pairing. However, we only got to try two simple red wines, a white wine, and a sparkling wine, without any music or the promised sunset view, as the event ended early and they left us there. I couldn't even complain in person because they left us there, unattended.
What we experienced was far from the advertised "more than a basic tasting" experience. You are misleading customers by claiming to offer music, a sunset view, and food pairing. The only interesting part was the first of the three small tapas served, and the empanada at the bar was better. No to mentioned the wine we tasted cost only few euros per glass at their same bar

The hotel employees were hospitable, caring, attentive and very approachable. The Winery Tour very informative and fun, showing the Winery's beauty. The restaurant food great along with service. And for the best part Arzuaga wine is amongst the best, which is the Main reason for visiting. Great Wine and wonderful experience.

Unfortunately my experience with this place was very bad. I booked my visit 2 days before, they blocked 69 eur in my card and when I arrived from Paris to this degustation the unpolite representatives told me that my visit was not confirmed and money were blocked just if I refuse in the last moment, to secure themselves! They send me the email that I have to wait for the confirmation! How long? Till the moment than the degustation begins? Can you feel nonsense? And the funny thing that after one hour when the degustation started they sent me one email that my visit is not confirmed!
So if you travel far and plan your visit to this place be ready that they will keep you unsure till the moment of the visit, if it is confirmed or not. Definitely I do not recommend this place, choose something else beside, are a lot of wonderful places to visit!

Dinner in Ribera del Duero is surreal for sure. Very Spanish and authentic. No bull, real pros
Make sure you call before. I’d you want lechazo give them a heads up at least 3 hours in advance. Must try the croquetas
Are you thinking this through?
You can try most the wines. Bar and lounge area inside. For the restaurant ask to be seated outside and take it all in.
I tried several wines. Look me up in Vivino to see how I scored them.

Pablo Santos — Google review
One of the most surreal experiences of my life. We stopped on the way to Peñafiel to eat something and the girl who served us (very kindly by the way) asked us if we wanted to take some snacks (bar) or eat (restaurant), before deciding she invited us to see the menu. We decided (in two minutes) for the Reserve Menu (as much as I remember € 75 plus VAT), then she told us ´´Wait a moment, I'm going to ask to the kitchen, ´´ she came back and said, ´´I am very sorry but they tell me in the kitchen that it's late
We told her that there was no problem and that if we could go to the Gastro Bar to try some of their wines. She told us of course, but before entering, she again told us that she had to ask again ... came back after 5 minutes very embarrassed telling us that she was sorry but that neither, that the sommeliers were busy,
Well, thanks for everything and good afternoon.

The art museum Colegio de San Gregorio - Museo Nacional de Escultura (colección histórica), located in a former church, showcases both medieval and modern sculptures along with Spanish oil paintings. The museum's remarkable sculpted facade, crafted by master sculptor Gil de Siloe, features intricate details such as coats of arms, crowned lions, sculpted twigs, naked children playing in a pomegranate tree, and long-haired men holding maces.
Installed in the San Gregorio College, founded by Friar Alonso de Burgos , confessor of Queen Isabel, and which in itself is an outstanding work of Isabelian gothic style . Again, building and its contents are rivals for attention. The entrance attributed to Gil de Siloe and Simon de Colonia, is high high point of Spanish art. In the interior, the visitor will delight in the unique and surprising pieces from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries . Works by Berruguete, Felipe Vigarny, Diego de Siloe and Juan de Juni fill to overflowing the halls in this magnificent presentation of Spanish statues.

The Catedral de Valladolid is a Catholic cathedral built in the Renaissance and Baroque style during the 16th century. Its impressive main facade was completed by renowned artist A in the 18th century. The cathedral is located opposite to the University and features a Diocesan museum for visitors to explore. The nearby Hotel Catedral offers guests comfortable rooms with modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, and serves Spanish delicacies at its restaurant.
the view from the top of the church is amazing!
Wesley Santana — Google review
One of the many churches is Valladolid, with a tall slender Romanesque tower topped with an arrow covered with tiles, which makes it, the tallest Romanesque bell tower in Spain. It is visible from many parts in central town. The rest of the building is Gothic and Neo-Gothic , as it was built in the 14th century and, after later additions in different styles, it was extensively restored and rebuilt in the first half of the 20th century .Inside is rather rustic compared to other cathedrals. Entrance to the church is free, with €3 for the museum and €10 for a bell tower visit.

Great castle in perfect condition. Actually it is a school so it is very well preserved. The tour, around 45min, is amazing and you can learn about the castle, the history and the life of the village. The tour guide is amazing and his explanations very clear and helpful
Joaquin Cheto — Google review
As a castle it is magnificent. But regrettably we only saw it from the outside. It is used as some kind of educational establishment. One can ONLY visit it at specified times in a group with a Spanish speaking guide. How's that for financial lunacy? At the campsite we were staying at there were French, Dutch, English and German tourists. All potential visitors. And within that group English would be the most widely spoken second language . So the provision of an English speaking tour guide makes economic sense. But we did, for 1.5 Euros each get to walk the walls and from there to view the scenery and the town . The town itself has many churches and various other sites of interest. The churches, as is almost always invariably the case, were closed. He/She may have created the world ...so the myth goes...in 7 days but His/Her edifices are usually only available when the faithful are gathered . The Plaza Major was nothing worth seeing. So unless you are proficient in Spanish you will only be able to admire the castle from outside. And the town itself hardly warrants a visit.
Postscript...the owner informs me I can book an English speaking guide. At some considerable cost I assume. If one is simply passing through the area and decide to visit the castle on the spur of the moment pre- booking doesn't apply. The simple solution is to employ bilingual guides. We found no reference to the availability of an English speaking guide on the website. Nor were we informed of that provision at the castle information office.

(Translated by Google) We begin the visit to the Yllera wineries at this location. The boy who guided us, Adrián, was charming. He likes what he does, sincere, with knowledge of the area and with a good gift for words.
We did the visit with a tasting of 3 wines (lasts approximately 2 hours) and then we ate at the gastrobodega. This option is totally recommended, but if you are not interested in eating a tasting menu, you can go without making a reservation and there they will advise you or advise you where you can go, even if I would book in advance wherever I went.
In the town of Rueda itself there are some options for all budgets and there is always the possibility of visiting neighboring towns and trying and getting to know the area a little more.
(Original)
Comenzamos la visita a las bodegas Yllera en este emplazamiento. El chico que nos hizo la guía, Adrián, un encanto. Le gusta lo que hace, sincero, con conocimiento, de la zona y con buen don de palabra.
Hicimos la visita con la cata de 3 vinos (dura 2h aproximadamente) y después comimos en la gastrobodega. Totalmente recomendable esta opción, pero si no te interesa comer un menú degustacion, puedes ir sin reservar y allí te aconsejan o asesoran donde puedes ir, aunque yo fuera donde fuese reservaría previamente.
En el propio pueblo de Rueda hay algunas opciones para todos los bolsillos y siempre está la posibilidad de acercarse a pueblos limítrofes y probar y conocer un poco más la zona.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular visit! They do not win because of the quality of the wines they have, as they are not a big brand, but because of the passion and good treatment of all the company's workers. Starting with Adrián and his magnificent explanation of the visit and the tasting and then Sara's attention in the restaurant. I hope it has more popularity in wine tourism because the labyrinth is spectacular and the food is great.

Espectacular visita! No ganan por la calidad de los vinos que tienen al no ser una gran marca pero sí en la pasión y en el buen trato de todos los trabajadores de la empresa. Empezando por Adrián y su magnífica explicación de la visita y en la cata como después la atención de Sara en el restaurante. Ojalá tenga más auge en el enoturismo porque el laberinto es espectacular y la comida genial.

Castillo de Coca
It was built in 1453 by the illustrious bishop of Avila, Don Alonso de Fonseca, under the direction of the architect Ali Caro. Upon his death, his brother continued to work. In 1462, Coca had a mint to issue Castilian and Portuguese coins that helped pay for the workers involved in building the castle.
The Coca Castle is one of the most beautiful examples of Spanish Mudéjar Gothic art. Its construction amazes and loves it for the first time, as in every brick form it expresses an architectural ensemble as original and innovative as few people.
It highlights the unique beauty of its rooms, represented by beautiful Mudéjar geometric decorations made of stucco and paintings, which also gives us a unique and unrepeatable legacy. Another peculiarity is that it is not constructed on a hill as is usually the case with forts of this type, as its defense system benefits from the cliff terrain, which acts as a seat for this castle that stands over a wide and deep area. The trench. A love story in which Marquis Senetti starred .

An amazing castle in the heart of Spain. Constructed in the 15th century and has been considered to be one of the best examples of Spanish Mudejar brickwork which incorporates Moorish Muslim design and construction with Gothic architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be near.

Amazing. One of the best stops on my Spanish trip.
I hired a car in Madrid and drove out to Coca to visit this stunning castle.
Not only was it visually incredible, but it was also fully accessible, I was able to walk the walls inside and out, explore the interior, and even climb up and out onto the roof.
If that's not amazing enough, I was able to do that was barely anyone else present as the castle is aittle off the beaten path.
The town of Coca is definitely worth a wander too, it's beautiful and historic - even scoring a mention in the Astrix and Obelisk comics.
Definitely one of my highlights!

Review Title: Majestic Beauty in Coca!
The charm of Spain shines brightly in Castillo de Coca! This Gothic-Mudejar fortress located in Coca city is nothing short of a historical masterpiece. From the moment you set eyes on the castle, it's an awe-inspiring sight!
Whether you are an architecture connoisseur or a history enthusiast, the castle's blend of Gothic-Mudejar design will surely command your admiration. The intricate designs and well-preserved walls are testament to the brilliant craftsmanship of the era. The fortress's well-preserved state allows visitors to truly step back in time, and you can almost hear the echoes of historic Spanish events.
The surrounding beauty of the castle grounds is an added charm, ensuring a feeling of peace and tranquillity during your visit. The weather in Coca is always inviting, making the visit to the castle even more enjoyable.
Lastly, the castle staff, they are informative, friendly, truly enhancing the overall visitor experience. Don't miss out on the guided tour offered, highly educational and engaging.
In conclusion, Castillo de Coca is a must-visit attraction in Spain. It’s a perfect blend of historical grandeur, architectural brilliance, stunning beauty, and hospitable people. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

A really interesting place to visit with information provided in English and an English speaking man on reception. It must be said that the stairs up the towers are challenging with large risers and no hand rails. But we are two 74 year old not particularly fit pensioners and we managed OK. It is really worth the effort.

For such a big and impressive castle, the short free visit was a bit disappointing. I'd have liked very much to take a full guided tour, but the person at the ticket counter didn't even offer me any and I only learned about the existence of guided tours later. It's a real pity to see that they've got such a well-conserved medieval castle here but show that little interest in presenting it to visitors.

While part of the courtyard can be visited for free, the tour of the castle is great with abundant information on the defensive structures of the castle for very little money.
For even less money you can climb to the top of the tower and receive more information about the history of the castle.
However, I am not sure if they offer a tour in English.
There is free parking right in front of the castle as is the information - entering the grounds from the street it's easy to miss if you keep looking at the castle instead of turning to the right. The pavilion with the information also has a small archeological site and restrooms.

This is a castle that houses grains from centuries ago. The Queen Isabel (la católica) was raised in this castle. It was almost in ruins and was partially rebuilt by the Spanish government. Children can visit with their school and it is open to visit by others only a few times a year. If you can go, I totally recommend it, if anything for the muesum and the history. Parking is easy in the lot near the castle.

The University of Salamanca is a public university with a rich history in Spain. It was founded in 1254, and at its peak was one of the most important universities in Europe. The Plateresque architecture on the facade of many of the buildings here is beautiful, and youll find many stately Baroque and Renaissance structures on campus.
A beautiful university. The third oldest in the world. Tuition for a master’s degree, in English, for international students, one tenth of what it cost in the US (one third compared to State universities).

Salamanca University is a treasure trove of history and academia. The ancient lecture halls and ornate architecture transport you to another era. Walking through its historic corridors, I couldn't help but feel a sense of scholarly inspiration. The charming courtyards and vibrant student life added a delightful modern twist to this living piece of history. There is a 5 euro entrance fee gor student (don’t remember for the rest) but I have to say didn’t expect this nonsense payment!
Try to find the frog in the facade otherwise you wont succeed in your exams 🤭

Jordan Cole Coats — Google review
Some may say that this university is overpriced for 10 Euro. In my opinion, it is totally worth the price. Where else can I find such a beautiful medieval university which is so well preserved?
As there was a shower on that day, tourists were scarce so we could enjoy the campus as much as we want. With the audioguide, you can walk along different areas of the university and check out its function hundreds of years ago. Imagining how students listening to the lectures in the wooden built lecture hall (without the powerpoints and speakers) and the inauguration ceremony in the hall is itself a breathtaking experience.
The 'finding the frog' game suggested by the university also gave us a lot of fun as we did spend considerable amount of time searching them on the incredibly complicated sculpture at the entrance. And the joy of finding it (in the answer sheet of the university shop) makes it more delightful.
Their university shop sells the real deal with delicate laser cut cards and addictive alphabet stamps based on their canon and harry porter like leather bags, computer cases and stationery.
The cathedral of Santa Maria Dell'Assedio in Salamanca, Spain is a stunning and ornate edifice with carvings including an astronaut added in the 1990s. It is one of the most popular attractions in the city and attracts millions of visitors every year. The exterior features a combination of Gothic and Baroque styles, with particularly beautiful doorways flanked by baroque architecture.
Magnificent cathedral that dominates both the idyllic historic center of this old university city and its skyline. Beautifully situated, on entering it is just as impressive, the old church boasting a Gothic nave, while the newer one has a baroque adorned structure. Few cathedrals in Spain can compare in majesty to it!

This cathedral is really fun to see. It's beautiful and we were lucky enough to hear someone practicing on the pipe organ. You can get your steps in at the same time. No need to work out after. Be ready for climbing some big steps. I had to crawl up a few because they are very tall. I would highly recommend. We went in March so there was no waiting and only 4 other people were there at the same time. I am not sure I would enjoy it as much while it's crowded in summertime.

We enjoyed the experience as you walk from the new cathedral into the old. QR codes help guide you around. You may notice that there are people walking around higher up in the new cathedral but there is a separate pay entrance outside for access only to this area.

Very nice cathedral with an active bell tower. Be ready for some really loud ringing if you climb up at noon ! The views of the city are excellent and there is an NH Hotel across the street with stunning views of the cathedral from certain rooms.

Salamanca Cathedral is actually two cathedrals (the old and new) joined together. The new one is a truly magnificent and monumental cathedral with Baroque chapels, an incredible choir loft. The blue and gold ceilings are a site to behold.
The older one includes invaluable wall murals, Gothic arches and Romanesque elements. The ticket also includes entrance to a cloister filled with ancient tombs and displays of relics. Entrance costs 10 euros and is worth it.

So much to see. It cost €10 but that includes an exhibition, we missed. Our fault. There is an audio guide as well. You get to see both the new and old cathedrals. The detail and architecture is amazing. A must do followed by the Torres de la Catedral.

Beautiful cathedral- very unique and well preserved/ restored. The organ loft, choir, and chapels are very nice to visit. Some of the walls even still have paint. We spent 3 hours here. There was no wait to enter and the ticket price was inclusive of both cathedrals.

Absolutely beautiful! 10 euro entrance fee for adults, 9 euro for seniors. Guided audio tour included (QR code for your phone). Could easily spend 2 hrs walking around: two sections, newer and older one. Bring a jacket, it does get chilly even mid-summer.

My visit to Salamanca Cathedral was simply breathtaking! The architectural beauty and grandeur left me in awe. The highlight of my experience was exploring the magnificent balcony, where I was treated to panoramic views and a sense of history. The receptionist was incredibly helpful, even arranging a taxi for me on my way back to the hotel. A must-visit for anyone in Salamanca! #SalamancaCathedral #BreathtakingViews #HelpfulStaff

This whole town is a movie set (quite literally: they were shooting one as we walked though the gran via!) and such a little jewel, a mere two hours from Madrid!
The cathedral is monumental and magical, but keep your eyes up as you walk around it and around the city, everything is breathtaking!

Exploring Salamanca Cathedral was like stepping into a medieval masterpiece. The awe-inspiring blend of Gothic and Romanesque styles left me spellbound. Each chapel told a story, and the unexpected astronaut carving added a delightful touch of whimsy.
Kiana Sanajou — Google review
The 10 euro fee covers entrance to the new cathedral, the old cathedral, and the cloister. If you are interested in medieval art, the old cathedral has some of the nicest examples I have ever seen. There are so many full color effigies wearing elaborate designs painted on and in keeping with 13-15th c. fashion. The wall paint looks phenomenal.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral de Salamanca. Amazing architecture and just as beautiful in the inside. A must-see landmark in Salamanca. Can you spot the frog?
Natalie Studley — Google review
Better than expected area of historical sites. The sandstone colored buildings are awesome. Several of the sites are paid access while others are based upon access level. For example, when asked access, we said the stairs to balconies above building and we're allowed for free. Sometimes it pays to ask as we didn't care about viewing art and would rather see the area from higher elevation. The sites also have stores and restaurants within the area streets and the best parking, if you luck out, is right in front of the Roman bridge. 😎

Salamanca is such a beautiful town, full of life and great restaurants. The cathedral is really two cathedrals in one and is incredibly beautiful. It's definitely worth the separate entry to climb the bell towers, you get to see the most amazing views of the cathedral and Salamanca.
The Catedral Vieja de Santa Maria de la Sede de Salamanca is an ornate medieval Romanesque/Gothic cathedral. It features a 15th-century altarpiece, one of the finest outside Italy. The cathedral is huge, with plenty of space, but is a bit drafty and could have been great but for a major lack of air conditioning. It was in awe and sadden by its truly personal experience.
I share my experience by saying I was in awe and sadden, its truly a personal experience.

This is the older of the churches that make up Salamanca Cathedral. The Old Cathedral dates back to the 12th century when founded by Bishop Jerome Perigord. It was built during the 12th and 13th centuries and is mainly Romanesque in architecture with some Gothic features including the vaulted nave. The Old Cathedral is dedicated to Santa Maria de la Sede (St. Mary of the See).
The Old Cathedral can be visited as part of a combined ticket (€10 per adult) that includes entry into the New Cathedral, cloister & historic chapels as well as the Episcopal Palace exhibition rooms just across from the cathedrals at Plaza Juan XXIII.
Highlights for us were the frescos in St. Martin's Chapel and the beautiful ancient chapel of St. Barbara. However, most impressive is the apse altarpiece, a cycle of 53 scenes known collectively as the Final Judgement by Italian painter Dello Delli. This is a remarkable cathedral treasure, worth spending some time to enjoy.
The cloister area was mainly closed during our visit but we enjoyed the small museum setup with a handful of rooms containing cathedral antiquity and artworks. Then, through the shop and over to the Episcopal Palace to see the exhibition rooms and artworks there. That wraps up your visit to the Salamanca Cathedral complex.

The Old Cathedral of Salamanca (Cathedral Vieja de Salamanca in Spanish) is one of two existing cathedrals in the city of Salamanca, Castile and Leon, Spain. It was founded by Bishop Jerónimo de Perigord. Its construction began in the first third of the 12th century, continuing until the 14th century. Its architecture has Romanesque and Gothic influences. It is dedicated to Santa Maria da Sede.
The cathedral has a Latin cross plan and three Romanesque naves, topped by Gothic transitional vaults. The main door, although it has lost part of its original artistic value, still conserves two statues, representing scenes of the Annunciation, one on each side.According to a legend, the San Martín Chapel or Olive Oil Chapel, where the ports of oils that were later used in the lamps of the Cathedral, served as a refuge for Franco, a general of the time. It is also worth mentioning that in the Old Cathedral there was a dome that became known by popular as the Torre do Galo, this mainly due to a weather vane that had in the crown.

Impressive architecture + a great view to the city if you go to the upper floors.
This art museum is housed in a beautiful and historic palace, which was built for a wealthy local industrialist in 1905. It features a stunning stained glass ceiling and a collection of beautiful art nouveau and Art Deco artifacts, including Faberge eggs, scary dolls, elegant glassware, and strange postcards from the 19th century.
this gallery is honestly one of my favourites i’ve ever been to! the collection is small, but with wide variety. it’s one of the most unique galleries i’ve been to, with beautiful art in the form of vases, jewellery and statues. i really enjoyed the emphasis on the female form, lots of art centred around beautiful women while remaining un sexualised. the staff were lovely, the cafe was beautiful and it was an amazing experience. the reviews i’d read left me unsure if i wanted to go, but i would call this a “must have” visit for salamanca. the art and the stained glass is simply awe inspiring - and it’s cheap entry. 5 stars!

A strange place in this world heritage city. It’s not that we didn’t enjoy the museum.its that in this city of over a thousand years, you have a place dedicated to such a small slice of time. While unique and visually stunning, I found it lacking in providing context or interpretation. And aligning it to all the other wonder in Salamanca is difficult.

This museum is full of Art Deco wonders. It has a spectacular stain glass ceiling and many exhibits from that period.
stephen bunney — Google review
Nice museum, if you like art deco. The building itself is a pleasure to visit. Have a drink at the museum cafe and a look at the building from there. A luxury shop for those who can afford expensive kitsch, or just buy a magnet. The staff was really unfriendly, a guard fysically intimidated my wife, she took a picture which is not allowed. Not a reason to threaten someone.
Robert Hoog — Google review
The place wasn't free and after I asked for the ticket price I decided not to enter the tour, then I walked away and glanced at the counter to see if there were postcards or something like that, and suddenly the staff said that I wasn't allowed to stand around, but the fact that there weren't too many ticket buyers, and that the entrance wasn't crowded. I didn't think that I was interfering with anyone, and I don't know if that's a rule of the museum or if it's just the staff's attitude that's so rude. The souvenir shop is still worth a visit.
Evelyn Lee — Google review
The building is beautiful, but honestly, the art pieces look like a collection of a hoarder, just random incoherent pieces and the 1st floor is proper nightmare fuel if you don't like the scary dolls. I assume the reason why you can't photograph inside is because you'll see it's just not worth going inside. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is because the café, which you can only get into if you pay the entrance fee of the museum, has a beautiful terrace out of the edge of the city. Save yourself the money and look at the beautiful building from the outside
Sie-Hang Cheung — Google review
Amazing piece of architecture in art déco style offering great exhibition of collections from this time. The best probably being the indoor and outdoor stained glass.

I recommend passing by near the bridge by night to get view of the building illuminated

Lovely art nouveau museum with stunning stained glass features throughout. Not sure if it's an absolute must-see in Salamanca, but I enjoyed it on the frigid, rainy day that I had in town. The cafe is also fantastic - the decor and the stained glass is really transporting and I very much enjoyed reading my book with a cafe con leche in the space.

It's a decent museum of art nouveau trinkets and dodads. Of you're into your Grandmas knick-knacks, this is the place for you.
I wanted more architecture but it's fairly basic.
The cafe is is stinking hot as its all beautiful glass but no aircon.
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.

(Translated by Google) The El Barco de Ávila castle or Valdecorneja castle is a castle originating from the 12th century that is located overlooking the Tormes River and the bridge, at the highest point of the valley, in the Province of Ávila, Spain, and which currently belongs to the El Barco de Ávila Town Hall.

It's a shame that they do these things in the summer, which is when they receive the most visitors. Still, it is well worth taking a walk through its walls.

(Translated by Google) The oldest part of the city with a Memorable history. In it are the oldest churches in the city, the Town Hall, the Plaza Mayor, the Ducal Palace where you can visit the Camera Obscura, and a wide range of old houses and buildings with many years. Despite all this, the complex is not very well "air-conditioned" there are houses declared in ruins and in which a couple of police tapes separate the danger from the person, the main square is not used for any event so the people do not go down to this area if they do not know it completely well.

La parte más antigua de la ciudad u con una historia Memorable. En ella se encuentran las iglesias más antiguas de la ciudad, el Ayuntamiento, la plaza Mayor, el Palacio ducal en que se puede visitar la Cámara oscura, y un gran amplio abanico de antiguas casa y edificios con muchos años. A pesar de todo esto el conjunto no esta muy bien "climatizado" hay casas declaradas en ruinas y en las que un par de cintas de la policía separan el peligro de la persona, la plaza mayor no se utiliza para ningún evento por lo que la gente no baja hasta esta zona si no la conocen del todo bien.

Plaza principal del pueblo, con la Iglesia del Salvador y el palacio ducal, en el que tienen una cámara oscura (espacio reducido en el que aprovechan la luz natural que entra por la torre del palacio, la reflejan en un espejo y la usan a modo de proyector para explicarte los principales monumentos de la ciudad). Hay varios carteles informativos de la historia de la villa en la plaza y está marcado un itinerario autoguiado por el pueblo.

Ciudad Rodrigo, a city located near the border of Spain and Portugal, is renowned for its captivating Old Town and well-preserved 12th-century city walls. The Cathedral de Santa María, nestled within the ramparts, showcases exquisite Gothic and Romanesque doorways. The Castillo de Enrique II, dating back to the 14th century, has been transformed into a hotel. Additionally, the Palacio de los Aguila now houses a heritage center with a charming courtyard featuring arcaded galleries.
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.

Not very crowded, we were able to find a place to eat the sandwiches quietly without anyone nearby, and that was just walking maybe 10 more minutes. A beautiful landscape in which if you are brave you can take a dip.
At the starting point you can find two restaurants with ridiculous prices! Parking €3 for having the car there all day.

(Translated by Google) The area is very beautiful, but to get there there is a good walk. About an hour uphill, we went with the children and they ended up very tired. To get to the pylons, it is better from the town of Jerte along the forest road which is wide (better than through the interpretation center).

La zona es muy bonita , pero para llegar hasta allí hay una buena caminata. Cerca de una hora de subida, hemos ido con los niños y han acabado muy cansados.Para llegar a los pilones, es mejor desde el pueblo de Jerte por el camino forestal q es amplio( mejor q por el centro de interpretación )
Mario Arranz — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is advisable to go during a time when it is not very hot, the path is 3 km one way and 3 km back...both along the path and on another path that is well signposted, it is quite hard and more so in the heat so it is advisable to carry plenty water.
There is a parking lot as soon as you arrive from a restaurant that charges 3 euros.
I recommend going during the week to avoid meeting many people.
(Original)
Aconsejable ir en época que no haga mucho calor, el camino es de 3 km ida y 3 de vuelta...tanto por la senda como por otro camino que hay bien señalizado, es bastante durilla y más con calor con lo cual aconsejable llevar bastante agua.
Hay un parking nada más llegar de un restaurante que cobra 3 eur.

Granadilla, a ghost town in Spain located in Extremadura, has been part of Zarza de Granadilla's municipality since 1960. The village was abandoned on June 24, 1955, during the Franco regime when residents were forced to leave due to the construction of a nearby reservoir. Situated approximately 25km west of Hervas, Granadilla offers a captivating glimpse into the traditional villages of Extremadura before modernization took place.

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.
Spectacular monastery in the middle of the mountains. Rich history of Charles the V and the Spanish empire. The gardens are stunning and rich in biodiversity typical to the region. The entry at 7€ is a bit costly.

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.

I came 20 years ago and I had really good memories of the place. I visited it today and seeing that it's still as beautiful as I remember made me happy!

We booked our tickets and an audiotour online, but once there you cannot download the app nor the contents due to the fact that there is no phone signal or WiFi. To compensate they offered a tablet at an extra fee. No way. In spite of that, the visit to the beautiful monastery was worthwhile, but can’t show you much, because one is not allowed to take pictures inside 😳

Small, but charming, simple and mostly unadorned place surrounded by beautiful countryside. It must have been great place to live.
The visit consist of interiors of both cloisters, Charles V palace and gardens. Its not worth going just to see the gardens, despite being beautiful, because the part that you can visit is very small - only a single path to the cloister view and back.

This was a lovely walk down history to learn about a monastery founded by the Hieronymites in the early 1400s. The tour inspired us about Charles V of the Roman Emperor and the I of Spain, where he stayed after abdicating his throne until his passing.

Carretera de Yuste, s/n, 10430 Cuacos de Yuste, Cáceres, Spain
Plasencia, located in western Spain, is renowned for its medieval walls and historic old quarter. The city boasts the impressive Plasencia Cathedral complex, which includes the Old Cathedral from the 13th century and the New Cathedral with a mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles. Nature enthusiasts can explore Parque Los Pinos with its picturesque ponds inhabited by herons, storks, and flamingos. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Monte Valcorchero offers rocky trails amidst cork oak trees.
Catedral Nueva de Plasencia is a historic landmark that consists of two cathedrals, the old 13th-century cathedral and the new one completed in the 1600s. The Cathedral Museum showcases the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture and is considered one of the city's greatest architectural treasures. It began construction in the early 13th century with contributions made until the 15th century.
Attended a beautiful wedding. Gorgeous 😍

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.

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!!!

We only admired the jumble of different architectural styles of the 2 adjacent cathedrals from outside as a Sunday service was in progress. Difficult to get a clear view from outside.
Region classified as a biosphere reserve, including cliffs & rock faces, plus copious wildlife.
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.

Stunningly good area for birds in particular but other wildlife as well. Do go to Monfrague Castle and the smaller road to Portilla de Tietar. You will not be disappointed.

Main attraction of this NP are the vultures, which can be seen on multiple spots, but the best spot is Salto del Gitano near the castle. Bring binoculars to see the chicks in the nests. Vulturss, eagles and black storks can be seen.
There are sone nice walking trails, more info at the visitor's centre at Villareal de Carlos.
Only negative is the limited parking places, so avoid in hogh seadon or weekends.

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 😉

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

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.
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.
Nadia Rozumna — 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.
Nani A — Google review
The main site of the city a 10th century Moorish Castle. You're able to walk up to the castle and enjoy spectacular views of the city but likely not worth paying to go inside.
Lou Fegans — Google review
Beautiful castle but perilous (railing scarce), no maintenance and there are no signs nor posts explaining anything. And cars everywhere.

Interesting and well preserved place. Go to the top of the walls for a good view of the surrounding country area.
Wagner Alegretti — 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 Buck — Google review
A must in Trujillo. Impressive medieval
castle with detached defensive towers (not seen everywhere). Stunning views from the towers. The gates of the castle houses a known statue of the Virgin Mary.
darius savolskis — Google review
Upon our visit the place was closed for rehearsal for the concert happening that evening. Worth visiting if you are in the area. This castle is also famous now, because Game of Thrones was shot there. Friendly advice use sun protection, there is nowhere to hide from the sun.
Tatiana Indge — Google review
You can walk the ramparts and admire the views. The water storage area can be examined. There is very little information as to how the castle was operated. It’s a large place.
2€ per person or buy the bulk ticket for 5 places for 5.5€

The Arco de la Estrella (Star Arch) is a wide stairway and gate in the center of Caceres, Spain that leads up to the Cathedral. The monument features a Catholic shrine on one side, and ramparts overlooking the walled city on the other.
One of the most beautiful old cities 🫶 must visit.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful point in the city, one of the entrances to the beautiful historic center of the city. It is quite a work of engineering of the time, since it is not a straight arch, but a curved one for the passage of carriages.
It is called this way because of the image of the Virgin of the Star that can be seen inside the walled enclosure.
(Original)
Es un punto muy bonito de la ciudad, una de las entradas al precioso centro histórico de la ciudad. Es toda una obra de ingeniería de la época, ya que no es un arco recto, si no en curva para el paso de los carruajes.
Se llama así debido a la imagen de la Virgen de la Estrella que se puede ver por dentro del recinto amurallado.

The historical landmark Old Town of Cáceres is a walled city with preserved medieval buildings. The old town is easy to get lost in its maze of alcoves and narrow stone alleyways pockmarked with exquisite medieval buildings. It's no surprise this town is in the UNESCO list of heritage.
I live in Portugal and my husband and I were looking for a great place for a quick road trip. We decided on Caceres and WOW it really delivered. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and wandering around it really does feel like stepping back 500 years in time. We got up and out for an early morning walk in late September and it seemed we were in a time warp with nobody except us. Magical.
Some excellent restaurants with authentic Spanish cuisine and live music in little bars tucked away down little back streets. We loved every minute and can't wait to go back.

Stayed overnight in this charming old town with remnants of Ancient Rome and Gothic architecture. There was a weekend market held in an ancient square, and hilly climbs through the old quarter. A great stop if traveling between Madrid and Lisbon by car.

If you plan on going on a weekday in the middle of the day or early afternoon, don’t... it’s beautiful but absolutely deserted and most of the stores and restaurants are closed. They open up again later in the day as most of Spain, but if you’re just passing through make sure to be there later in the day. Other than that it’s amazing seeing the history of Cáceres. The entire old city is like an open-air museum. Even if you have an extra hour or so and are near, you should definitely go.

Nice location to visit, old historical area is amazing in reference to the architecture. Be careful walking because of the streets were built a long time ago and are in some places uneven.

The Cáceres Museum is a state-owned museum in Extremadura, Spain, with archaeological and cultural displays from the 16th to 17th centuries. It stands out for its lack of defensive features, elevated position, and lovely balustrade with ornate gargoyles and colorfully glazed ceramic balusters topping the exterior wall. The museum houses exhibits ranging from the Paleolithic Age to Contemporary Art.
I was very impressed. Not a big building but an extensive collection of local treasures. From flint axes and bronze age brooches to looms and ploughs, musical instruments, traditional costumes and a fully intact cellar/water store built by the Moors 900+ years ago. No endless religious/royal/aristocratic paintings (had enough of those in the Prado last week). Everything was part of real people's lives which is for me what a museum should reflect. Don't miss it.

The museum itself is beautifil and interesting, located in a historic building. Entrance is free. BUT there are almost no signs in English - a constant problem in Spain. We would be willing to help if the managing authority would contact us.
Afroditi Kamara — Google review
Very nice museum with free income. Most info is in Spanish, but you can get a small booklet with English and French information (only a basic summary, not the full translations). A lot of the collection is on the stone and bronze age, and on things such as Spanish agriculture, clothing, worship. This wasn't our main interest for our visit in Caceres, but certainly worth our time for a quiet stroll through the museum.

Except for the cistern, I would skip the museum even if it's free. The museum's pamphlet is available in Spanish, French and Portuguese only.

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.

Nice little spot to learn something about Cáceres. Good display of artifacts and art. The cistern below is a nice quick peek into another world. Did I mention that it’s free?
Tom Nitroy — Google review
If you have any questions forget about getting answers. Workers know as much history as a grasshopper. Amazing cultural heritage display with local costumes and folklore but no information at all. No books, no panflets, no nothing. Poorly lit and horrible configuration. A city like Cáceres deserves a beautiful museum with great workers and good information. This is absolutely ridiculous for the magnificence of the city and the people who fought for her history through the the times.

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.
