January 13, 2026, Castillo de Herrera del Duque

This Almohad-era castle, now devoid of walls and decoration, is built on an octagonal plan atop a high crag south of the town, on a summit difficult to access. It lacks a keep, towers, and external defenses, perhaps due to its reconstruction during the Christian era, which only preserved the wall, omitting any other defensive elements beyond the rugged terrain on which it stands.

The Herrera del Duque Castle, located in the province of Badajoz (Extremadura), is an impressive 15th-century fortress that dominates the landscape of the La Siberia region from the top of the Sierra Chamorro. It is said that wailing sounds can be heard at night from the "Tower of Sighs," and there are legends about a hidden treasure protected by a curse.

This spectacular reservoir was built during the 1960s. The reflection of the sunsets in the water and the surrounding landscape make it a must-see if you're exploring the Guadiana Nature Trail.

This is an old road that is only found when the water in the reservoir is low but it is a different way to go to the other side of the bank of the swamp.
