Cáceres | Hospes Palacio de Arenales & Spa

Cáceres and Mérida

Cáceres is home to a magnificent historical heritage which includes different places of interest such as the bullring, Casa de la Cigüeña and Plaza Mayor among others. You can also go on interesting tours of Las Veletas Palace, Los Golfines Palace and the Co-cathedral of St. Mary as well as visit the Three Cultures Medieval Market, which takes place in November.

Just 47 miles from the city is Mérida, a historical city with its famous Theatre Festival during the months of July and August, an event which includes classical Roman theatre plays which are over 2,000 years old in a Roman theatre with capacity for 6,000 people.

Activities for all tastes

Extremadura offers almost 1,000 miles of freshwater areas where you can go sailing, kayaking or fishing, a wide range of activities which revolve around active tourism. At Hotel Hospes Palacio de los Arenales & Spa we will help you organise your routes around Cáceres, personalised city tours and any other activity you would like to enjoy.

For gourmet clients only

Local cuisine from Extremadura is also worthy of a mention thanks to its rustic, homemade, convent-style cuisine. Some of the most outstanding ingredients and dishes include cold cuts made with pimentón de La Vera smoked paprika and garlic and game meat served with fresh vegetables.

We recommend that you try traditional dishes such as the creamy rice with truffles and torta del Casar cheese, Cáceres-style gazpacho, migas extremeñas (local speciality prepared with bread, garlic, olive oil, bacon and peppers), salted cod, rosquillas de alfajor (sweet doughnuts), etc.

Hospes Palacio de Arenales & Spa includes all of these local specialities and more on the menu of its restaurant Las Corchuelas.
