Badajoz is a city that stands out for its castles, marshes, citadels, lakes, reservoirs, forests, mountains and meadows. To discover all its nooks and crannies and to delve into a very important part of Spain's history, culture and gastronomy, don't just explore the city and its centre. Make the most of your hire car and explore the province. We suggest a route around the surrounding area:

• Badajoz: In the city of Badajoz visit the Alcazaba, the Plaza Alta, the Casas Mudéjares, the Plaza de la Soledad and the Cathedral and Town Hall. Try migas extremeñas, tomato soup, gazpacho or picota del Jerte ice cream.
   
• Mérida: To visit the lands of Emérita Augusta is to be transported directly to Roman times. It is one of the best-preserved sites in the world, which is why it has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site. Your visit should not miss the amphitheatre or the thermal baths, which will help you to disconnect and lose your stress. What's more, the Alange reservoir, located just a few kilometres from Mérida, will allow you to enjoy the stunning natural surroundings. It will take you around 40 minutes to get to Mérida from Badajoz.
   
• Zafra: In the middle of the Vía de la Plata is the town of Zafra, where we will find authentic historical remains and a very lively culture with a wonderful gastronomy. The Plaza Grande and Plaza Chica are two of the liveliest and most representative spots in the town. In addition, Zafra has a privileged location for access from Badajoz. It only takes an hour's drive to get there.
   
• Jerez de los Caballeros: This town, which has been declared a Monumental Artistic Site, is 73 kilometres from Badajoz. In its monuments and buildings there is a clear trace of the Knights Templar who passed through this area, especially with the so-called Templar Fortress that protected and currently surrounds the city.
• Lisboa: You can also visit the neighbouring country and our Portuguese brothers. The journey time to the Portuguese capital is two and a half hours and 230 kilometres. 

If, on the other hand, you feel like crossing the border, but want to stay in the Alentejo region, Évora is a great option. Just over an hour from Badajoz, it's ideal for enjoying the Alentejo countryside and the typical food of the region.
