EXTREMADURA
Holiday rentals, fincas and hotels in Extremadura

Little is known about this borderland in the west of Spain, as it has no coasts and no famous monuments like Andalusia. The Extremadura is however well worth seeing! It is not a travel destination for a quick visit, but a large enrichment for those who can enjoy this vast expanse and quiet.


Climate

The Extremadura has a Mediterranean climate, however the summers are very hot, and the winters are mild. Precipitation is irregular, most of the rain falls in autumn and in the spring; after heavy rain falls the land turns into an ocean of flowers in the spring.
