Municipality in the province of Badajoz, gateway to the La Siberia region. Located next to the Guadiana River and near the Orellana Reservoir, in the Sierra de Pela, a SPA (bird protection zone).

It's a historic bridge located over the Guadiana River, near the pre-Roman ruins of Lacimurga. It's part of the Senda de los Embalses (Reservoirs Path), a popular hiking and nature trail.

The church "San Pedro Apostol" was dedicated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”; their common feast day in the saints’ calendar is June 29th.

They have a market around it.

It is located in the Plaza del Sagrado Corazón and according to the information available, it was built at the end of the 14th century, although it has subsequently been renovated in various moments or phases. Its style is Civil Gothic and the south façade from the last period of Gothic, around 1499.

The urban complex of Casas de Don Pedro is based on popular architecture that is evident in the different ancestral and stately houses that make up the town, with elements present in them such as grilles or noble shields. There are also some notable monuments in the urban center, such as the sculpture “Help the fallen” by Juan de Ávalos. In the main square we find the town hall, with a portico, and near it the Plaza del Sagrado Corazón, in which the church of San Pedro Apóstol is located. Both squares would once be the administrative center and the religious center of the population, respectively.

A picturesque bridge over the Orellana reservoir, which ends with a tunnel excavated in the rock. Beautiful views.
