The rich history of Extremadura is felt throughout the province. Caceres boasts a surprisingly very intact Medieval town center, with stone buildings and cobblestone streets that will make you feel like you are back in the days of the conquistadores. Go even farther back in time and visit Valencia de Alcántara, where you can see ancient dolmens, megalithic monuments that remind us of the prehistoric people that roamed these hills long before we did.
