It is worth deviating from the national highway and approaching the traditional layout of the Roman road to get to know Zafra. Its location in the transit of travelers and merchandise made it a nerve center of commerce in the Middle Ages, and it is not in vain that it continues to have a commercial character due to its tradition as a trade fair. The remains of the old medieval wall attest to its stately importance and its interior architecture in the style of the white villages of neighboring Andalusia make it worth a stop.

Many of Zafra's buildings (e.g. the Ducal Palace) date from the 15th / 16th centuries. Century and the city's squares invite you to take a break, e.g. Plaza Chica and Plaza Grande.
