At the heart of Cáceres lies its Monumental City, a labyrinth of narrow lanes that feels lifted from a period film. Plaza Mayor serves as the quintessential gathering place, dominated by the imposing Torre de Bujaco, the city’s emblem. From there, visitors enter a web of palaces and manor houses that tell the story of Extremadura’s aristocratic heritage. The Cáceres Museum, housed in the Casa de las Veletas, holds archaeological and ethnographic collections that illuminate the region’s cultural wealth. And for those seeking nature, Parque del Príncipe offers a green respite in the heart of the city, ideal for unwinding.

Cuisine

Cáceres’ culinary scene is another of its great draws. Here, local ingredients and time-honored traditions reign supreme. Torta del Casar, a creamy, PDO-certified cheese, is an authentic delight best enjoyed spread on bread. Migas extremeñas, made with breadcrumbs, garlic, and pancetta, is a humble dish bursting with flavor. Iberian acorn-fed ham, sourced from the oak-studded pastures of Extremadura, is a delicacy that needs no introduction. All of it paired with wines from the Ribera del Guadiana, completing an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
