From Badajoz they even take advantage of the andares. In this province, with its deep Roman legacy, the roads intermingle with the endless expanses of fields dedicated to cork oak and holm oak trees. Do you like ham? Large herds of Iberian pigs are bred in Badajoz and roam freely from one dehesa to the next. Pork products take pride of place. This is what happens in the region of Llerena, where the best internationally recognised hams are produced. Moreover, here the past lies beneath vestiges such as its Roman theatre, the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Ara, which is known as "the Sistine Chapel of Extremadura", and the impressive Jayona mine. Do you dare to enter? You can do this on guided tours that take you through three of its eleven levels. Do you want to travel back in time from the present? There is a time machine called Emérita Augusta that you can go to... Mérida is two cities at once: one modern, where you can enjoy excellent gastronomy and a quiet life; the other, on which the first was built and which was the capital of Lusitania. Both coexist proudly and you can take this historic leap into the Roman Empire by visiting the circus, the aqueduct of the Miracles, the amphitheatre, the temple of Diana, the arch of Trajan, the house of the Mithraeum... and the spectacular theatre, where the fantastic Mérida Classical Theatre Festival is held every summer. Essential. Do you want to top this trip off in style? Head for Badajoz, a city that condenses great landmarks of history into intricate and beautiful streets. Do you see that? It is the imposing and beautiful Moorish Alcazaba. Within its walls are intermingled constructions such as the Palace of the Counts of Roca, from the Medieval period, with the odd surprise or two. Did you know that Badajoz has its own Torre del Oro? This is the Torre de Espantaperros (Scarecrow Tower), which watches over the city. Time to rest. You will do it to your heart's content at the Sercotel Gran Hotel Zurbarán, which overlooks the Guadiana and is located in front of the green Castelar Park. It is also very close to two of the city's icons, the curious hermitage of La Soledad, which houses the patron saint of Badajoz, and the Giraldilla, the Extremaduran replica of the Giralda in Seville. You can’t beat it! We doubt it.

Sercotel Gran Hotel Zurbarán
Badajoz is a land of spectacular Iberian cured meats, a great monumental heritage, vibrant fiestas and a friendly and hospitable people like no other. That, kindness and hospitality, is what you will find when you stay at our Sercotel Gran Hotel Zurbarán.
Our 4-star hotel is located about 10 minutes' walk from the impressive historic centre of Badajoz and just a short stroll from the waters of the Guadiana River, which has given life to the city since time immemorial.
A stroll along the riverbank sounds like a good plan, but it sounds much better to go for a walk or a run in the beautiful Castelar Park. As simple as leaving the Gran Hotel Zurbarán and crossing the street. The park is now all yours.
However, if you are more into indoor sports, you can always go to our gym where you can choose the machine that best suits your routine.
Make yourself hungry, because delicious gastronomic temptations await you at the table of our Castelar Uno restaurant. Our excellent chefs work magic in the kitchen, creating tasty dishes from Extremadura, Mediterranean and international cuisine.

In fact, we would like to tell you that our hotel has several meeting rooms, with different capacities, which offer all the necessary facilities to host all kinds of corporate meetings. From shareholder meetings to product launches, from team building activities to talks and conferences.
In addition, our Sercotel Gran Hotel Zurbarán is less than 500 metres from the Badajoz Conference Centre and a 25-minute walk from the exhibition centre. The city's train station, the main route to the rest of the country, is one kilometre away.
Whatever the reason for your trip, when it's time to relax, our 111 rooms will welcome you as a haven of peace and comfort. The rooms are all exterior and bathed in natural light, and we could well say that their beds are worthy of the kings and queens of yesteryear.

Traditional local dishes from Badajoz
Prendete carta e penna, buongustai, e mettetevi al lavoro sul menu pantagruelico di Badajoz. L'idillio gastronomico inizia con il salmorejo di vitello. Avete capito bene! Si prosegue con il morcón arrosto, un piatto a base di carne di maiale magra con una marinatura di aglio e paprika; e si conclude con il classico pastorejo en adobo, guancia di maiale alla griglia. Alla vostra salute!
How beautiful Zafra is, how flirtatious, how southern. Its Plaza Grande is the epicentre of the action, although the Plaza Chica is not far behind either. Both are surrounded by narrow streets inherited from their Jewish, medieval and Roman past. An absolute gem.
You will immediately fall in love with the panoramic view as you approach Jerez de los Caballeros. What if we tell you that you have to walk it at night? It is one of the towns in Extremadura with Starlight Foundation certification, which means that light pollution is so low that stargazing is a guaranteed spectacle.
Lastly, do us a favour: travel through La Siberia, pure nature in this Biosphere Reserve that hides charming little villages among its forests, its fortresses, the Guadiana river and its five reservoirs. This is the case of Puebla de Alcocer, Risco and Herrera del Duque.
