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.

Beautiful and ornate monastery in a lovely town with lots to see

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.

One of the most beautiful old cities 🫶 must visit.

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.

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!

(Translated by Google) The visit was great, the guide, Arturo, very friendly, as well as very professional and rigorous. He also made us several specific recommendations (both places to visit and places to eat), which went beyond the basic things that they had told us at the tourist office, and which helped us a lot during the rest of our stay in Cáceres. If you go with Arturo, ask about the viewpoint towards the ancient city, he recommended it to us and it was a good experience. (Original) Genial la visita, el guía, Arturo, muy amable, a la vez que muy profesional y riguroso. Además nos hizo varias recomendaciones específicas (tanto de sitios que visitar como de sitios para comer) , que se salían de las cosas básicas que nos habían contado en la oficina de turismo, y que nos ayudaron mucho en el resto de la estancia en Cáceres. Si vais con Arturo, preguntad por el mirador hacia la ciudad antigua, que nos lo recomendó y fue una buena experiencia.

Highly recommend paying the small entrance fee and climbing up the city walls when you visit Torre de Bujaco. There is a small exhibition room as well as access to ancient Roman ruins. This bird’s eye view of of Cáceres is an ideal place to start your visit to this UNESCO world heritage recognized historic town center.

We were so happy to find this lovely little museum. It’s a shame there isn’t more information about the several hundred years during which Spain was occupied by North Africans. The display was charming and the bath was interesting. The best though was the daughter of the museum’s owners. She was so full of information and very knowledgeable.

Book a guided tour to enjoy your visit at the museum. Our guide explained the concept and relevance of each room and answered our questions very well. Don’t miss out the intricate murals on the wall, tapestries, and the well-preserved vogue magazine during the 15th century. You can request for an English speaking guide for your visit.

Onderdeel van de oude stad Caceres. Prachtig plein. Hier start ook een tour per electrische kar door de stad. Voor ons met onze slecht ter been zijnde broer een uitkomst (Translated by Google) Part of the old town of Caceres. Beautiful square. A tour through the city by electric cart also starts here. A solution for us with our brother who has difficulty walking

Very welcoming and a wealth of information. I just felt the staff loved their city, wanted to share their knowledge and we're all too happy to spend time helping find the best places to visit for each of their visitors

If only every tourist office has as beautiful a setting as the one in Cacéres! Explore the courtyard and inner garden where you can catch some shade before entering the tourist information office located here. The staff is extremely helpful, informing you what is open and closed (worth considering that there are midday breaks often for several hours so people can escape the heat). Worth stopping in for a visit!

(Translated by Google) After the historical center of the monumental city, better known as the old part, this place at 600 m above sea level is a haven of peace and tranquility where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. It is accessible by car and parking is simple and free. You can also walk, but it is a walk not suitable for all audiences due to its steep slope. (Original) Después del casco histórico de la ciudad monumental, más conocido como la parte antigua, este lugar a 600 m sobre el nivel del mar es un remanso de paz y tranquilidad en el que puedes disfrutar de unas vistas panorámicas de la ciudad. Se puede acceder en coche y el aparcamiento es sencillo y gratuito. También se puede ir andando, pero es un paseo no apto para todos los públicos por su elevada pendiente.

The tower’s quite high but it’s worth the climb because of the amazing view on top. Our group enjoyed learning about the well-preserved weapons and uniforms at the museum.

(Translated by Google) This House and Tower of Sande is included in a House of Saavedra, belonging today to the Viscounts of Roda, which has its main entrance on Calle de los Condes. It is Gothic, from the 14th century, rebuilt in the 15th century. First of all, you can see the tall Torre de los Sande, which gives the impression of enormous power: • In its middle, on the right, it has a beautiful Gothic window with two arches with a mullion; On the left a simple window with a semicircular arch. • Above, to the right and left, two equal windows, in a semicircular arch with ornaments. • Higher up, the balcony machicolation that is supported by nine large corbels. • To its right, we see a small window in a shoulder arch or lintel. We observe that the roof is placed on top of the tower without any support element in the middle, which indicates that its height was reduced and the battlements were eliminated, in compliance with the “topping” order given by Queen Isabella the Catholic. From the house, partly hidden by an ugly wall, we can see: • A beautiful Gothic window, equal to the one in the middle of the tower. • The cornice supported by stone corbels with vegetal decorations. • Marble shields of Sande (eagle) and Ulloa (chess), belonging to the marriage of Juan de Sande, 2nd. Señor de Valhondo, who lived in the second half of the 15th century, and Teresa Álvarez de Ulloa, who were the authors of the reconstruction of the house, tower and burials of this family in San Mateo (according to the heraldist Pedro Cordero Alvarado, author of the Heraldic Guide of Cáceres, based on the text of the Ulloa Memorial). With Alfonso IX, Pedro Fernández Saavedra came to conquer Cáceres, whose merits were such that the monarch granted him the possession of the town, and he was the first Governor of his Alcázar, a favor that he declined to his son Fernán Pérez de Saavedra, to continue he warring. (Original) Esta Casa y Torre de Sande está incluida en una Casa de Saavedra, perteneciente hoy a los Vizcondes de Roda, que tiene su entrada principal por la calle de los Condes. Es gótica, del siglo XIV, reconstruida en el siglo XV. Se ve en primer lugar la alta Torre de los Sande, que da la sensación de un enorme poderío: • A su mitad, en la derecha, tiene una bonita ventana gótica de dos arcos con mainel; en la izquierda una sencilla ventana en arco de medio punto. • Por encima, a derecha e izquierda, dos ventanas iguales, en arco de medio punto con adornos. • Mas arriba, el matacán del balcón que está sustentado por nueve grandes ménsulas. • A su derecha, vemos una pequeña ventana en arco de espaldilla o dintel. Observamos que el tejado está colocado encima de la torre sin ningún elemento soporte en medio, lo que indica que fué reducida su altura y eliminado el almenaje, en cumplimiento de la Orden de “desmoche” que dio la Reina Isabel la Católica. De la casa, ocultada en parte por un feo muro, alcanzamos a ver: • Una preciosa ventana gótica, igual a la de la mitad de la torre. • La cornisa sujeta por ménsulas de piedra con adornos vegetales. • Escudos en marmol de Sande (águila) y Ulloa (ajedrezado), pertenecientes al matrimonio de Juan de Sande, 2º. Señor de Valhondo, que vivió en la segunda mitad del siglo XV, y Teresa Álvarez de Ulloa, que fueron los autores de la reconstrucción de la casa, torre y enterramientos de esta familia en San Mateo (según afirma el heraldista Pedro Cordero Alvarado, autor de la Guía Heráldica de Cáceres, basándose en el texto del Memorial de Ulloa). Con Alfonso IX vino a la conquista de Cáceres Pedro Fernández Saavedra, cuyos merecimientos eran tales que le otorgó el monarca la tenencia de la villa, y fue el primer Alcaide de su Alcázar, mercedes que declinó en su hijo Fernán Pérez de Saavedra, para seguir él guerreando.
