Second Stop - Cáceres

 Now here's an interesting little city. It's a really good way to treat yourself after exploring Trujillo. Let's say that it's twice as big as Trujillo and it some how managed to keep the medieval essance while growing. It's about 40 km away from Trujillo and there are buses that take you there and back. 

You can't miss the 'Cuidad Monumental' which is basically the oldest part of the city and it's almost like a tiny city itself. You can walk around this area and find really breathtaking corners and almost feel as if you were living in that period of history. It offers museums which you can visit throughout the walk across this tiny city, some are with ticket others are for free. In any case the prices aren't expensive and for 10 Euros you can visit them all. Some churches inside this area offer a visit to their towers from where you can see the rest of the city, you can tell from there where the old part ends and the new one begins. 

It has wonderful gastronomic offer in the city square, right at the feet of the 'Cuidad monumental' and you can actually have lunch while admiring the majestic walls that in some way are trying to tell you their story.  I've personally had dinner at La Tapería de Tula which I found really nice and delicious food. Besides the fact their staff was absolutely lovely!

From the city square you have many narrow streets filled with different little shops that are unique. In fact, you can see the most important things of Caceres in one day, a delightful walk and a very pleasant meal will make your trip turn into a great experience. 

This city I aslo recommend visiting between October and May, summer time in this area of Spain is quite a challenge, especially for those who enjoy fresh weather and have trouble with high temperatures like me. 

You won't regret discovering this city and it's history. I recommend you book a free tour in English so you don't miss a thing. And, for the mystery lovers, there is a Night Tour in which you walk through the 'Cuidad Monumental' and the guide explains mysteries and legends inside this little city that holds a lot of history and offers a fulfilling experience.
