| More than ten towers dominate the historic quarter of Caceres, delimited by Arab walls. Cobbled streets marked by medieval, fortified homes and Renaissance palaces make up the most beautiful sceneries in this city, which was declared World Heritage. The local history is closely related to one the historic, peninsular routes: "Vía de la Plata" (the Silver Route), a Roman road that linked Seville and Astorga, used by the pilgrims who were headed to Santiago de Compostela. Pork products and shepherd recipes are the fundamental elements of the rich culinary tradition of this region, the dishes should be served with some of the excellent wines from Caceres.

| Local cuisine | |
| Extremaduran cuisine in this town is at its best. "Torta del Casar" (a type of cheese) is an ingredient in many different dishes, especially when combined with Iberian pork, both of which lend a special character to the local cuisine. The recipes from Alcántara, in particular the game meat recipes (pheasant and partridge) are prepared in this place like nowhere else. | |
