This destination is a great unknown, eventhough it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage city. Caceres offers all types of tourism, including cultural, natural, ornithologycal, historical or gastronomic tourism. Apart from enjoying this activities, make your experience memorable by resting in an antique cortijo of large dimensions, located in an extensive property of natural land and with an excellent access to Cáceres. This cortijo is the former summer residence of Los Golfines in the 17th century, now converted into a magnificent luxury hotel, the hotel Hospes Palacio de Arenales. The hotel, right at the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage city, has rcently been refurbished and offers all the services and facilities you need to relax and enjoy yourself. What better moment to get to know it!

On top of that, this community counts with more than 1,500 kilometers of fresh water between the two provinces of Extremadura, offering the possibility of enjoying sailing, canoeing or sport fishing. If you are looking for a traditional beach, just over 100 km from Cáceres is the Orellana beach, the first Spanish freshwater beach to obtain a blue flag for the quality of its water and its accessibility. As you may see, Caceres offers a wide range of possibilities for Active Tourism!

Within Cultural and Historical Tourism, a visit to Cáceres is a must, as its medieval siteis one of the best preserved in Europe. It also offers a very interesting historical variant, as in these lands you may still feel the vestiges of Jewish culture. An obligatory visit is Hervás,  its aljama throughout the Middle Ages, fundamental in the development of Castile. Additionally, the link of this land with Isabella the Catholic is very strong, since the most important historical events took place here, such as the war of succession against Juana “la Beltraneja”, the Jura of the city’s charter and the stage of the Discovery of America.

As a final touch, we must dedicate a special mention to its wines, oil and cheese:

A brief tour to get to know the wines of a region that produces a wide variety of them, some of which currently enjoy national and international prestige. Extremadura’s wines are true masterpieces. In recent years, wineries such as Carabal, Pago Los Balancines, Pago de las Encomiendas, Santa Marina, Marcelino Díaz and Cñía have been crowned. Vinícola del Guadiana, Valdueza or Toribio.

Extremadura’s olive oil, virgin or extra virgin, is extraordinary. The region produces oils of the highest quality and is the third largest producer in Spain. Among the most widespread varieties of olives we have the “manzanilla cacereña” and “corniche” in Cáceres and the “morisca”, “corrasqueña” and “verdial” in Badajoz.
