The Vía de la Plata, as it passes through Monesterio, especially in the La Dehesa area, offers one of the most beautiful and representative stretches of the Extremadura landscape: a Mediterranean pastureland, with holm oaks, cork oaks, and pastures where Iberian pigs, cows, and sheep graze.

The Church of Our Lady of Granada in Llerena is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city. Its construction began in the 14th century and continued until the 18th century, resulting in a mix of architectural styles including Gothic-Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque. The façade combines Baroque and Mudejar elements. The lower level is Baroque, with an entrance door decorated with heraldic shields. The upper level, in the Mudejar style, features galleries of semicircular arches. The church tower is an impressive structure that dominates the square. The first two bodies are from the original Mudejar tower from the 14th century, while the three upper bodies, in the Renaissance style, were added in the 16th century.

There are hardly any campsites on the Via della Plata and I didn't want to camp in the wild.

We are in the beautiful natural environment that surrounds the Monastery of Tentudía, where the beautiful Mudejar cloister stands out especially. The views from the top of Alto de Tentudía are impressive, offering a panoramic view of the region and its landscapes of meadows and mountains typical of the south of Badajoz. According to legend, in the 13th century during a battle against the Arabs, the master of the Order of Santiago, Pelay Pérez Correa, cried out to the Virgin shouting: "Holy Mary, stop your day" when he saw that night was approaching and the victory was not assured. It is said that the sun stopped on the horizon allowing the Christian troops to win. As thanks, the master ordered the construction of a temple dedicated to Santa María de Tentudía. At the end of the visit we can go to the bar where we can eat or drink while enjoying the scenery.
