Yet another face of Spain. As the name suggests, this is an area of many extremes. Climate, terrain, culture, economically. From flat arid land to forests, mountain ranges, to lakes. The cities too, are all very different. Based in a 3* hotel which is only a few minutes walk from the historical centre of the extremely interesting city of Caceres. Spring is a delightful time to visit this area. All the spring flowers add colour to the fields, Storks fill the skies, their  chicken filled nests occupy almost every high point on almost every building. Excursions take in  Guadalupe. Famous for the Virgin of Guadalupe, Merida, which has a a fabulous Roman ampitheatre and acueduct, Plasencia with impressive gardens and medieval buildings, Trujillo with castle and a strong history reflecting the conquistadores who helped conquer south America. This is one of the less visited parts of Spain. Leaving it a little less affected by tourism than other areas.
