Lying on the banks of the Guadiana River, just six kilometres from Portugal, Badajoz is the capital of the largest province in Spain.
A tour of the old town will reveal walls of Arab origin, fascinating monuments and picturesque streets.
Badajoz is also a great starting point for visiting Tierra de Barros or Mérida.
All of them are places where you can sample the culinary delights of Extremadura.
