Travel guide Extremadura for nature travellers
Extremadura can be found south west of Madrid. The area has a history of being unpopular. Due to its remote location, there was hardly any agricultural activity which resulted in an unspoilt landscape. Today, however, Extremadura is considered to be one of the best destinations for a nature holiday in Southern Europe. Typical for the Extremadura region are the dehesa, a unique landscape of open, oak-filled forests and grasslands, not unlike the African savannah.
In springtime, the Extremadura is famous for its wildflowers, which create stunning views adding them up to the river gorges.
Birds in Extremadura
The past decades, Extremadura has become known for being a birdwatchers paradise. Expect many raptors like eagles and vultures. Visit the Monfragüe National Park for the best spotting experiences.
