Hoteles en Extremadura, España

Extremadura, in western Spain, has a continental climate with scorching summers over 40°C (104°F) and mild winters around 10°C (50°F), making spring and fall the best times to explore. The region is famous for its Roman ruins in Mérida, like the 6,000-seat theater, and the Monfragüe National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where you can spot Spanish imperial eagles. In cooler months, hike through oak forests where black Iberian pigs graze for the prized jamón ibérico, while summer evenings are perfect for a free outdoor concert at Mérida's Roman amphitheater.
