Luxury holidays in Extremadura

When to go

You get really good weather from April to October – July and August are not crowded (because everyone has headed for the sea) but might be too hot for some people. Winters are generally mild with some snow in the hills.

Getting there

• Planes

  The region has very few international airports. The nearest are Seville | Madrid and Lisbon.

• Trains

  Badajoz is on the Madrid-Lisbon train line. Infrequent express trains stop at Cáceres, Mérida and Badajoz.

• Automobiles

  Roads are of a high quality | and driving is the only practical way to see the region in a short space of time. When you hire a car | make sure you ask for a map | or fork out the extra for GPS.
