Mirrio Peak in the Sierra Vieja is a popular hiking trail in Feria, Extremadura. It's a medium-difficulty hike that offers stunning panoramic views and a circular route from Feria.

The Parador de Zafra is located in what was once the palace of the Dukes of Feria. The building clearly reflects its long and rich history, which includes the Extremaduran explorer Hernán Cortés, a distinguished guest of the palace. The Parador preserves beautiful coffered ceilings, chests, ironwork, handrails, and decorative elements from the former palace.

The fortress has a 35-metre-high keep and a perimeter wall with cylindrical towers at the corners. Originally, the castle had a drawbridge that allowed access through a moat, although this no longer exists. The castle was restored by the Junta de Extremadura at the end of the 20th century, preserving its structure and historical elements.

A visit is not possible because it is a hotel. The patio/inner courtyard, which is worth seeing, can be visited. And if you want to spend more time here, you can take a break in the café.

If you deviate slightly from the N630, near Santos de Maimona, next to the EX-101 road, a construction different from the rest emerges from the fields. It is the work of Don Francisco González Gragera, a retired bricklayer who more than 30 years ago began what today would be the fulfillment of a dream that he outlined years ago on paper. Cotrina's Whim.

The Plaza de las Palmeras is the center of this small and charming town of Santa Marta de los Barros. As the name suggests, there is a small square with several palm trees surrounded by beautiful colorful houses. In this town there are other interesting places to visit such as the Church of Santa Marta and the Plaza de la Constitución.

This small town for many years was nothing more than a few families living in the area. However, it began to grow in the 1850s and had more than 1,700 residents by 1920. Currently, there are a little more than 1,200 residents who work mainly in the area's agriculture, which is grapes and olive trees. This means that the area around the town is full of fields and trails that are nice to explore.
