This guidebook showcases 32 walks exploring the sierras of Cáceres and Badajoz, one of Spain's least known regions and a gem for walkers and nature lovers. Walks range in length from 6 to 20km are suitable for any reasonably fit walker. They can be done from a number of bases in the area including San Martín de Trevejo, Gata, Hervás, Jerte, Jarandilla de la Vera, Montánchez, Guadalupe, Almoharín, Mérida, Alange, Hornachos and Monesterio. Each walk is accompanied by a sketch map and detailed route description, as well as notes on the terrain, refreshments available and access. Background information about the area and the many interesting sites passed along the route combine to give an invaluable guide to an unspoilt and peaceful region. Extremadura is one of the most untouched regions of Spain, a delightful mix of rugged mountain ranges, gently rolling hills, deciduous forests, deep river valleys, olive groves and shady pastures, all criss-crossed by thousands of paths. Superb birdlife and a variety of heritage sites, from cave paintings to monasteries, add to this region's charms.
