1Extremadura Heritage Trail (Cáceres – Trujillo – Mérida)
Often overlooked by tourists, Extremadura is one of Spain’s hidden treasures for road trippers. Start in Cáceres, where cobblestone streets and medieval palaces make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
From there, head to Trujillo, birthplace of conquistadors, with a castle overlooking the plains. Finish in Mérida, home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins outside Italy, including an amphitheater and aqueduct. This off-the-beaten-path adventure is perfect for travelers seeking authentic history and fewer crowds.
