If you have a little spare time and you don’t mind traveling 25 miles, check out Caceres. This popular place offers up a world of things to keep you engaged. Soak up the sights starting with Casa del Sol, Plaza de Santa Maria and Visual Arts Centre Helga de Alvear Foundation. Locals are also likely to point you toward Plasencia, 35 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Plasencia Cathedral. (But we’re also big fans of Parque de los Pinos and Parque de la Isla.)
