One of my places in Cáceres y Trujillo

Hervás – Barrio Judío (Valle del Ambroz)

Hervás

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“Autumn (“otoñada mágica”) is the most beautiful season; nearby are the remains of the Roman city of Cáparra and its famous arch.”

One of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in Spain: houses of brick, wood and chestnut packed along narrow alleys sloping down to the Ambroz river, in a valley covered with chestnut forests that turn color in autumn.

What to see

The Jewish quarter and its alleys · the old bridge over the Ambroz river · the Pérez Comendador-Leroux museum · the golden chestnut forests in autumn · the nearby Roman arch at Caparra

Easy to reach, needs a car

By car (few buses); the Jewish quarter has narrow, steep alleys. Full services in the town.
