Walking anywhere along its narrow cobblestone streets is like traveling back in time. You'll find yourself surrounded by mansions, Renaissance palaces, and churches crowned with stork nests, and you'll understand why Cáceres is a World Heritage City. Get your camera ready to photograph one of Spain's most beautiful historic centers.

Caceres is worth at least a day off. Such a beautiful city both during the day and when strolling at night. You feel like you're in the Middle Ages, the winding streets of the largely car-free and advertising sign-free old town are so identical. The fortification towers and the city walls that enclose the old town are from the time of the Arabs (12C). The surrounding farmsteads generated enormous wealth for the noble families up to the 16th century and that is how they appear, the Gothic and Renaissance palaces. The Santiago Order was founded here in 1170 to protect pilgrims to St. James. Native American sculptures also adorn the home of conquistador Francisco de Godoy, comrade-in-arms of Peru's and Chile's cruel conquerors Pizarro and Almagro. Another blood-soaked stain is another palace (Palacio de los Golfines de Abajo) where Franco, on his march on Madrid, had himself proclaimed "Generalisimo" of the fascist Falange.

The small private pilgrim hostel "Las Valetas" is highly recommended.
