Your itinerary begins in the Roman city of Cáparra. Start your visit at the interpretation centre, located in one of the three necropolises. Continue on to the amphitheatre remains and the southwest gate to reach the centre of the site, where you’ll find the famous Arch of Cáparra, remarkable for its unique quadrilateral structure and the fact that it’s the only one of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula. As you tour the rest of the site, you’ll learn about Roman culture, how its cities functioned and the importance of this site, a key point on the Vía de la Plata, during the Roman period.

Next on the agenda is Guijo de Granadilla, where you can stop for lunch after visiting the museum dedicated to the poet Gabriel y Galán. Next stop, the historic town of Granadilla, founded by the Muslims in the 9th century. Since then, different cultures have lived within its walls. Granadilla is one of those medieval towns that makes a lasting impression on visitors. Discover why it was abandoned and explore the surrounding walls and streets. Visit the castle and take in the incredible peninsular setting, surrounded by the waters of the Gabriel y Galán Reservoir. This is, without a doubt, a place that you’ve got to see for yourself.

At the end of the day, treat yourself to some of the fabulous local products such as cheese, mushrooms, liqueurs or gin; or have dinner in one of Zarza de Granadilla’s famous restaurants.

On the second day you’ll travel to Hervás, in the Ambroz Valley, where you’ll visit the Pérez Comendador-Leroux Museum or if you prefer, the Classic Car and Motorcycle Museum. You can follow the route of the Vía verde de la Plata as it passes through the town and discover the views of the town from the iron bridge. After a lunch break in one of its excellent restaurants, take some time to learn about the history of the Sephardic culture, more alive than ever in the town of Hervás, especially the bustling Jewish quarter. There is a past full of stories that have yet to be told in its architecture, gastronomy and cultural heritage.
