For lovers of Roman culture and art, Mérida is the perfect city.

It is located atop a hill in the Sierra de Montánchez, also known as the "balcony of Extremadura," at an altitude of approximately 700–900 meters above sea level. Founded on the site of an earlier Roman fortress, its main structure dates back to the Caliphate period of the 9th century (Almohad era). It preserves three underground cisterns built between the 11th and 13th centuries. Captured around 1156–1230, it passed to the Order of Santiago after being granted by Alfonso XI. Walls, a keep, and defensive enclosures were added. 17th century: A hermitage and an interior pond were added. In 1620, it served as a prison for Don Rodrigo Calderón.

Nice gentle climb and one of the longest in Montanchez

About five kilometres to the northwest of the city is this Roman reservoir, in the same place where the famous Battle of Albuera took place. It was in this battle that Isabel la Católica decided the dispute over the throne of Castile between her and Juana “la Beltraneja”.

Fountain in the village church. Works all year round, use responsibly!!

This small reservoir southeast of Cáceres is also known as Tres Torres. It is very popular among fishermen in the area, as carp are abundant. Its banks are an ideal place to stop to rest and perhaps have something to eat in the middle of our route.
