The Most Underrated Places to Visit in Spain in 2017
When it comes to holidays in Spain, the likes of Barcelona, Madrid and the Costa del Sol usually top the lists. Discover somewhere slightly more off the beaten track with these underrated, stunning Spanish destinations.
Cáceres
Historically one of the poorest and most rural regions of Spain, the region of Extremadura is often overlooked by visitors despite boasting remarkable architecture, flavoursome food and openly hospitable people. The old town centre of Cáceres has been an important hub since pre-historic times while today the most striking reminder of its past are the well-preserved Medieval walls which once surrounded the city, while inside Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish and Roman architecture stand side by side. Look out for the full-bodied reds which are made in the area and are a perfect match to the local Torta del Casar ewe’s milk cheese.
