Bright Extremadura, Self-drive

Duration

8 days

Overview

Extremadura extends from the Gredos and Gata mountain ranges all the way to Andalusia, and from Castile to the Portuguese border. Cortes, Pizarro, Balboa, De Soto, the Conquistadors, all left this vast, beautiful and little-visited region to conquer the New World. Fortunes made in the Americas financed elaborate family mansions and churches. A region of contrast where, during this memorable eight-day self-drive tour, you will be able to visit exceptionally valuable monumental sites, enjoy natural landscapes, and sample one of Spain´s most highly-prized cured hams.
