My tip“The ticket (about 8 euros) covers both cathedrals and an audio guide. Combine it with the Jerte valley (cherry blossom March–April) and Monfragüe.”
A walled city on the Jerte River, founded by Alfonso VIII in 1186, with two adjoining cathedrals (the old Romanesque-Gothic and the new Gothic-Renaissance) and a lively main square; the gateway to the Jerte Valley and Monfragüe.
What to see
The two adjoining cathedrals, old and new · the main square and the “Abuelo Mayorga” statue on the town hall · the walls and their gates · Palacio de Mirabel · the Jerte Valley and its nearby natural pools
