With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Plasencia, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Plasencia Cathedral, Parque de los Pinos and Parque de la Isla. Don’t skip Ciudad Rodrigo either! Just 30 miles away, Ciudad Rodrigo Walls, Ciudad Rodrigo Town Hall and Cathedral of Santa Maria are essential stops here.
