Road through fields

Highlight • Cycleway

Extremadura is characterized by its agricultural tradition. Many enclaves have prospered thanks to the advantage of being on the Vía de la Plata. Throughout the route there are very long sections that pass between fields of multiple crops such as cereal, olive trees and vines among others, giving the experience a feeling of crossing the country through its bowels.
