Extremadura in Spain

Extremadura

The name kind of suggests extremities, and why would you want to go there but Extremadura is one of the most beautiful and least known regions of Spain.

The land has remained pretty much unchanged for hundreds of years which makes it is an attractive destination for travellers who like to go off the beaten track.

It has beautiful cities with many different influences including Roman, Moorish, Medieval and Aristocratic.
