Extremadura is Spain's westernmost autonomous community, bordering Portugal, and one of Europe's best-preserved landscapes of Roman ruins, medieval castles, and vast dehesa oak woodlands. Home to the UNESCO-listed city of Cáceres, the Roman theatre of Mérida, and some of Iberia's finest jamón ibérico, the region rewards travellers seeking authentic Spain without the tourist crowds.
