New SC&C trip being planned to Extremadura, April 2027

12th – 20th April 2027 (8 nights, dates to be confirmed)

Extremadura is an area of mountains, forests, lakes and reserves, notably Monfragüe National Park and Cornalvo Natural Park, both sheltering diverse birdlife. As well as seeing the fauna and flora of the region, we will visit the capital, Mérida, well-known for its Roman heritage; Cáceres, with its UNESCO-listed old town, 15th-century palaces and medieval walls; Trujillo, and its iconic Plaza Mayor; the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe; and the Alcazaba of Badajoz: the largest Moorish citadel in Europe.

Group leader: Angela Chantry
