View of Piedras Albas

Highlight • Viewpoint

Piedras Albas is a Spanish municipality located in the province of Cáceres, in the autonomous community of Extremadura. It is located 74 km west of the provincial capital and 7 km from the border with Portugal. Surrounded by the municipality of Alcántara, this town has an interesting history.

The name “Piedras Albas” probably refers to the white quartzite ridges present in its surroundings. In the past, there was a border post next to the Roman bridge of Segura over the Erjas river, and a customs office in the same town.

La Cantera Natural Pool

La Cantera is an old quarry that is filled with water creating a natural pool. It is a popular place to escape the heat in the summer. It is a short walk from Camping Puente de Alcántara.

A place that could well be paradise in summer, it is one of the most beautiful bathing areas in Extremadura.
When the Alcántara reservoir was built, too many stones were needed to build the dam. Many came out of this quarry
