Su viaje a Mérida, Cáceres‎, Plasencia, Avila y Jaén

About the destination: Merida is the capital of the Extremadura region in Spain. The Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993. Mérida is a perfect city for cultural tourism. The main tourist attractions are the Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre; Los Milagros Aqueduct, the Diana’s Temple, or the Roman Bridge, whose construction gives meaning to the existence of this town and because of its strategic value it is a crucial element for trading and all the wars that took place in the east of the peninsula.

About the destination: What a pleasure it is to walk around a city like Cáceres, where every stone tells a piece of history. Its monuments dating from medieval times are one of the best preserved. Explore the narrow alleyways of the Ciudad Monumental, the old town, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, and decorates the city’s skyline with spires, gargoyles, turrets and enormous storks' nests. The monumental highlights are many, with the exceptional Plaza Mayor, an unforgettable highlight, as well as the excellent Museo de Cáceres housed in a 16th-century mansion and built over an evocative 12th-century aljibe (cistern), a surviving element of Cáceres' Muslim castle. Cáceres is a favourite place for nature-lovers due to its wealth of natural resources just a short distance from the city centre, which include the Monfragüe National Park and a nature reserve. The Jerte valley is also well worth visiting in spring to see the cherry trees in blossom. Take advantage of the cool of the night, when the crowds have gone, to discover a city that takes you directly to the past.

About the destination: Plasencia is a walled market city in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Western Spain. Situated on the bank of the Jerte River, Plasencia has a historic quarter that is a consequence of the city's strategic location along the Silver Route, or Ruta de la Plata. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS - The double line of walls, with six gates and 68 towers, dating to 1197. - Remains of the Roman aqueduct. - Renaissance Town Hall, in the Plaza Mayor. - Palacio de los marqueses de Mirabel (16th century) with a two-order court - Church of San Martín (13th century).

About the destination: Ávila, a walled medieval gem in the heart of Spain’s Castile and León region, feels like stepping into a living history book. Its star attraction is the remarkably well‑preserved city wall, a 2.5‑kilometer ring of stone punctuated by 88 towers and nine gates. You can walk along several sections of the ramparts for sweeping views over the old town’s terracotta rooftops on one side and the vast Castilian plain on the other. Arrive around golden hour for especially atmospheric light and memorable photos. Inside the walls, Ávila is compact and easy to explore on foot. The Cathedral of Ávila, partly integrated into the fortifications, is considered one of Spain’s first Gothic cathedrals and has a striking fortress‑like exterior. Wander the narrow streets to find quiet plazas, Romanesque churches, and traditional stone houses. Key stops include the Basilica of San Vicente, the Convent of Santa Teresa—dedicated to the city’s most famous mystic—and the Plaza del Mercado Chico, the historic main square lined with cafés and local government buildings. Food is a highlight of any visit. Ávila is known for its hearty Castilian cuisine, shaped by cold winters and rural traditions. Try the celebrated “chuletón de Ávila” (a thick T‑bone steak from local beef), “judías del Barco” (white bean stew), and “patatas revolconas” (smoky mashed potatoes with paprika and pork crackling). For dessert, look for “yemas de Santa Teresa,” small sweets made from egg yolks and sugar, often sold in charming pastry shops around the old town. Ávila makes an excellent day trip from Madrid—just 1.5–2 hours away by train or bus—or a tranquil base for exploring the wider Castile and León region. The city has a good selection of modest hotels and guesthouses, many set in historical buildings. Evenings are pleasantly calm: stroll the illuminated walls, enjoy a leisurely dinner, and soak up the sense of timelessness that gives Ávila its unique character.

About the destination: Jaén is one of the provinces of Andalucía. Jaén is inevitably linked with the olive trees landscape and the olive oil production and also offer a programme of activities so visitors can learn everything about oil producing. The province's cultural attractions can be seen in the towns of Úbeda and Baeza, whose ensemble of Renaissance buildings has been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. There are also several castles in the province which can be visited by following the Castles and Battles Route. Its natural resources include four nature reserves and a mountain area with abundant Mediterranean vegetation and a rich and varied fauna.
