Fuente del Maestre

Highlight • Settlement

Town that is located in what is called Tierra de Barros, with the Villalba Dam a few kilometers away. The Central Plaza stands out, the Plaza España which is surrounded by stone arches next to the church!

El Capricho de Cotrina

Highlight • Monument

The mason Francisco González Gragera created this house starting in 1988 for his little daughter, who dreamed of a country house that was different from everything normal, like in a fairy tale, like a princess castle.

Zafra Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Andalusian atmosphere, romantic streets, Roman relics, magnificent traces of the Arab Caliphate and the subsequent kingdom of León.

The San Miguel Fair has been held here since 1380 and is still the largest agricultural fair in Spain with huge bullfights.

Parador Nacional Duques de Feria

Highlight • Castle

The Parador de Zafra is located in what was once the palace of the Dukes of Feria. The building is a clear example of its long and rich history, which includes the discoverer from Extremadura, Hernán Cortés, an illustrious guest of the palace.
The Parador preserves beautiful coffered ceilings, chests, ironwork, handrails and decorative elements from the old palace.

Zafra

Highlight • Settlement

It is worth deviating from the national highway and approaching the traditional layout of the Roman road to get to know Zafra. Its location in the transit of travelers and merchandise made it a nerve center of commerce in the Middle Ages, and it is not in vain that it continues to have a commercial character due to its tradition as a trade fair. The remains of the old medieval wall attest to its stately importance and its interior architecture in the style of the white villages of neighboring Andalusia make it worth a stop.

San Francisco Tower of Zafra

Highlight • Historical Site

The tower of the convent of San Francisco is the only remains of what was the Franciscan convent of San Benito. It was located outside the city of Zafra, although it is currently within the urban area.
The convent was founded and built in the last third of the 15th century by the second Count of Feria, Gomes II Suárez de Figueroa, and by his mother, Countess María Manuel. Starting in 1565, the cloister and bedrooms were enlarged with the aim of housing a greater number of religious.
