Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local delicacies such as 'migas extremeñas' (breadcrumbs with chorizo and peppers) and 'torta del casar' (a creamy sheep's milk cheese). Don't forget to visit the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the city where you can relax at a cafe and people-watch. Be prepared for siesta time when many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon. It's a good idea to book accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. Keep an eye out for special events and festivals happening during your visit.
