Introducing Cáceres
Extremadura’s largest city after Badajoz is a lively place. Given extra vitality by a sizable student population, it has some great restaurants and a vigorous nightlife.

The Ciudad Monumental, the old town with its cobbled streets, mansions and public buildings, is a joy to wander through. Protected by defensive walls, it has survived almost intact from its 16th-century heyday. It owes its construction to wealth brought in by migrating nobles from León in the wake of the Reconquest, supplemented richly by loot from the Americas.
Stretching at its feet, arcaded Plaza Mayor is one of Spain’s finest public squares.
