    ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
    Extremadura is one of the least visited and least populated regions in all of Spain. It’s a wonderful part of the country to visit, and it’s only a couple of hours' drive from Madrid.
    And there is one part of the region that is especially famous - particularly for two weeks a year in spring. And that’s the Jerte Valley (Valle del Jerte in Spanish). It’s a magical little valley where for two weeks a year the region’s cherry blossoms come into bloom. And the entire valley is blanketed in gorgeous white cherry blossoms.
    You can walk amongst them, even picnic beneath them. In fact, many of the cherry orchards that line the hillside leave their gates open so you can explore freely. So that’s what we did!
    If you ever want to visit this region, here are the things I would recommend:
    - The cherry blossoms flower around late March and early April. The dates change a little each yet, depending on the weather - so it’s a little hard to predict if you’re planning a trip (and places do book out). But if you check out this page (in Spanish) www.turismovall... They flower for approximately 2 weeks, so you’ve generally got 2 weekends in there during which you can visit. If you can visit during the week, there will be fewer people
    - I suggest staying at Cabezuela del Valle. It’s a nice little town and has some good options for eating and drink. It’s also very central within the valley. Try the little riverside restaurant called El Vao. Also, for a big slap up Spanish meal, check out El Castillo (a brief drive from Cabezuela del Valle)
    - Make sure you rent a car - you need a card to move around the area
    - Take a picnic to have a picnic beneath the cherry trees! The spot where we picnicked was a brief walk out of a town called Valdastillas. Simply keep walking until you find a cherry orchard on the side of the road that looks nice and hard in - people don’t seem to mind people exploring their orchards.
    - The waterfall we visited is called Cascada del Caozo - and it’s a brief drive up the hill from Valdastillas - and it’s worth it!
    And that article about Spanish coffee: www.madridchow....

    Spain has so much variety that it is difficult to choose the most beautiful or interesting place. We live on the border with Galicia so it is easier to get up to that region. Certainly the Rias Altas from Ferrol to Ribadeo would have to make the list. Spectacular cliffs, fishing villages, and lighthouses make it a great trip. The coast between la Coruña and Cabo Finesterre is also beautiful with the fishing villages of Laxe, Camariñas, and Muxia. Then of course you have a place I keep coming back to--Extremadura. It is almost half the size of Portugal and has mountains (Sierra de Gata), plains, fertile river valleys (Don Benito, Badajoz, Coria), massive reservoirs, two great rivers (the Guadiana and the Tajo), and so many historical cities that you would spend a lifetime visiting them all. Plasencia, Cáceres, Mérida, Trujillo, Hervás, Coria, the list goes on and on.

    El Valle del Jerte también es maravilloso, dime que tiene de feo mi España que no se lo veo. Cada región es diferente en clima, cultivos, gastronomía. España es un continente en pequeño. Desde la casi tropical Canarias, las ciudades en África pasando por toda la península con temperaturas extremas. Estoy enamorada de mi país. Sin desmerecer otros.

    Extremadura is most definitely the hidden gem of Spain. I had the pleasure of living in Mérida for a few years and I'm still in love with the region. One of the most genuine places in the Peninsula and also one of the least visited, which baffles me, because it's packed with historical landmarks from several different eras.

    I love this part of Spain. My Spanish wife and I drove through the valley last summer, coming from El Burgo de Osma past El Barco de Avila and on to Trujillo via the EX-208 road through the Monfrague National Park (which is an incredible place for bird watching). We stopped off in Cabezuela del Valle to buy a box of delicious large cherries which were being packed for export. The countryside in Extramadura is fantastic with hardly any traffic outside the main cities and some real hidden gems to visit. Extramadura also has it's own collection of reclaimed epic Hotels which are called Hospederias De Extramadura which are a fine alternative to the Paradores. Big thumbs up to the humble tomato and (Spanish) onion salad which is very refreshing in hot temperatures (Italy does an equally brilliant fennel and orange salad). Excellent video. WT

      On your next trip you should go northwest from Plasencia to the abandoned village of Grenadilla on the shores of the Gabriel y Galán reservoir. Spectacular. Then head northwest to the Las Hurdes region just south of La Alberca, then head south to Sierra de Gata with the famous villages of Gata, Santibañez el Alto, Robledillo de Gata, and San Martín de Trevejo. The larger town of Coria on the plains of the Alagón River is also worth a day.

      Thanks Ray, that looks like a very tempting proposition. I very often check out lakes and reservoirs when travelling in Spain. There's nearly always some interesting stuff going on and the more remote the better of course. I'm compelled to mention the fantastic countryside of Castile. There's a lot of great stuff well off the tourist trail. Cheers. WT

    An entertaining video. We were just there last week, but not exactly where you were. We did the Jerte thing two years ago crossing from Jaraiz de la Verta to Valdastillas on the Garganta la Olla road. Scary and loney as we never met another car. On this trip we visited the Monastery of Yuste in Coacos de Yuste, where Carlos V spent his last days, plus the German cemetery close by. Actually where you were, it is not the Jerte but la Vera. The Jerte region is on the north side of the Gredos mountains while Vera is on the south side. But, of course there are cherry trees galore there too. The Parador you visited is in Jarandilla de la Vera. I know you know that but your viewers probably don't.
    Having said that, my favorite place in Extremadura, which is also my favorite region of Spain, is the Sierra de Gata. Coria is a great place to use as a base to visit the villages of the Sierra and also las Hurdes, once the most isolated region of Spain. The government of Extremadura has 8 hotels, called hospederías, in the most emblematic locations of the region. all of them inside restored convents, monasteries, or palaces. They are four star hotels and are cheaper than the paradores, with special prices if you pay with no cancellation. We've been now to the one in las Hurdes, San Martín de Trevejo, Alcántara, Hervás, and Garovillas de Alconétar. There is also one in the Jerte valley, Hospederia Valle del Jerte. I don't get a commission but the prices are right, the food is good, and they are in historical buildings. As a last point, I must say that your companion Joly is a good addition to your team. Attractive, intelligent, and good English. You're a lucky man.

The breakfast was a little pricey but delicious. Fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, jams, juice and coffee. It was worth the splurge from our regular toast and coffee. Possibly the most beautiful parador I have seen! It was expensive but completely worth the splurge!

    Ni James and Yoli,
    Though 50% local, I enjoy your visions of Spain. Jerte is beautiful, I can vouch for the Mesón Castillo del Chuletón too. Sugest you go to the next valley to the west and visit Hervás and its old Jewish quarters. If you have time, to the west the Vera has the Parador in Jarandilla and Cuacos de Yuste where you can visit the monastery where emperor Carlos V retired. Keep up the good work.

    ¡Que paisaje más hermoso! Hay que comprar la huerta de cerezas. . . ¡que sueño! Muchas gracias por haber compartido este video con nosotros. Beautiful countryside, and love the food, too! I lived in Argentina with my wife, where we had 3 sons, and we learned Spanish (with the Buenos Aires Argentine accent). Quisiera volver algún día. . . Pero sería buenísimo hacer una visita a España, si Dios quiere.
    ¡Las cadenas son para los caballitos, así creo! ¡Gracias por todo! ¡Chau!

    • @luciafrau125
      @luciafrau125 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on the kind of turism you want to do. Natural habitat with beautiful beaches and mountains but no too over crowded? Go up North, especially I like Asturias and Galicia, also the food is awesome. Monuments and such? Castilla y León is full of monuments, mostly church related, but also some Roman architecture. You can visit different cities is less days per city and discover a lot of history! Also the tapas culture in Leon is the best in all of Spain lol. More of a urban type of turism? Barcelona is beautiful and you can visit the monuments as well as the beach and the "hipster" style (kind off like boho) shops, but due to the political troubles going on in Cataluña right now may not be the best time to visit there... Also you have the South, Seville is BEAUTIFUL, but if is very hot down there in the summer... So if you don't mind that, then the cities in Valencia and Andalucía are stunning, but again, VERY hot and very crowded since most British people vacation down there lol
      My personal favorite would probably be going up North, but again it all depends on the type of turism you want to do. If you're more into history and historical monuments and churches then Castilla y León is the place for you.

Of course: that’s the best part; although I have an excellent sense of direction, every time I travel I get lost on purpose. That’s the best way to immerse into the destination. The cherry blossom? Like Tokyo...🍒🍒🍒 And the picnic blanket? It’s not needed! You can make a table with what you have available...Improvising is what makes an unforgettable trip...Gracias! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    You’ll rip out your intestines, mate.
    Apart from that, I love your work and am looking forward to the next instalment from Cádiz with bated breath.

Lots of fun riding to make up for the copious amounts of food and drink we intend to enjoy. Thanks for this and all your great videos. We feel better prepared because of them. Saludos!

    James and Yoly- thank you again and again for your wonderful channel! I have a few suggestions for future videos if you will indulge me ...….
    1. Do you have friends in other parts of Spain (Valencia, just sayin) that could take you both around and you could explain the regional differences in culture and food
    2. Also, to represent the warmth of the Spanish people...…..maybe do so real time "encounters" ( as tourists, as a person learning the Language, etc) I'm sure you'll make it interesting! Kindest regards!

    That was magical. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. Belleza. We stayed in the Parador in Leon. It was off-season and on Father's Day so the city was very quiet. It was so impressive. The bedroom was large by Spanish standards and overlooked the garden. We adore Spain. Keep those videos coming. This one was particularly romantic.
