With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Plasencia, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Plasencia Cathedral, Parque de los Pinos and Parque de la Isla. The locals are also likely to point you toward Coria, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Convent of the Mother of God. (But we’re also big fans of Coria Cathedral and Coria Castle.)
