Love this part of the Caceres. We arrived after 10pm from a long drive and couldn’t see much of the town in the dark. When we got up in the morning, the wet street and cold air in January, together with the old buildings, this was the perfect picture of a little town of Spain in my mind. Hundreds of years history has been maintained and carried on here. Love it ?

The city of Cáceres is a reflection of all the cultures that lived within its walls. And, years later, he saw his city expand outside the walls. The first traces of the city date back to Roman times, although previous human settlements are known. Although the city only acquired a certain splendor with the arrival of the Arabs who left important remains, such as the Palácio de las Veletas, an old fortress and the imposing wall. During the 13th and 14th centuries, several noble families from the north of the Peninsula found Cáceres the ideal place to build their stately homes, within the walled enclosure, on the Muslim substrate. Thus giving way to the characteristic architecture of the old center of Cáceres: austere buildings, with a strong defensive nature. Most of the civil and religious buildings in the old center of Cáceres date back to the end of the 19th century. XV and XVI. Today, the highlights of the Plaza Mayor are the Abrantes Palace, the Casa de los Trucos, the Palacio de la Isla, the Church of Santiago, the Convent of San Francisco, the Hermitage of the Holy Spirit and the Sanctuary of Ntra. Mrs. de la Montaña, among others. The Jewish population also left its mark in the capital of Cáceres, where we find the Jewish Quarter, located at one end of the wall, following the winding layout of narrow streets, some with dead ends. Its historical value is recognized and it is integrated into the Spanish Jewish Quarters Network.

Lovely old Medieval city. Old town small enough to walk around

I live in Portugal and my husband and I were looking for a great place for a quick road trip. We decided on Caceres and WOW it really delivered. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and wandering around it really does feel like stepping back 500 years in time. We got up and out for an early morning walk in late September and it seemed we were in a time warp with nobody except us. Magical. Some excellent restaurants with authentic Spanish cuisine and live music in little bars tucked away down little back streets. We loved every minute and can't wait to go back.

We were impressed with the number of restored buildings and the beautiful architecture. You can get an idea of the medieval lifestyle. Some tapas bars served typical Spanish fare in a relaxed atmosphere.
