In the small town of Montemolín is Xtrema Buggy, a company that organizes routes for one or more days through Extremadura, Portugal or Morocco. The adventure of entering the winding paths of the Extremadura dehesa with one of these vehicles is a highly recommended activity.

exclusive and original cocktails that we prepare in our American bar.

- Calera de León: Conventual Santiaguista. The fact that Extremadura eats well is not new. The gastronomy here is a monument in itself, with the Iberian pig as the main exponent. Here are some places

To finish, nothing better than a tasty dinner on the terrace or in the lounge of our panoramic restaurant 'La Flor de la Candela', where you can enjoy cuisine based on the extraordinary quality of Extremadura's raw materials.
Day 3
Visit to Monesterio and surroundings: San Pedro church, Vía de la Plata Interpretation Centre, Ham Museum, Las Torres castle, Tentudía hermitage, Tentudía reservoir.
Although it is a little further away (approximately 20 minutes by car), it is worth visiting the Tentudía Monastery to soak up its history, discover its Mudejar-style cloister and contemplate its magnificent views of the region, with landscapes of meadows and the typical mountains of southern Badajoz.
To eat, in Monesterio we recommend the Restaurant 'El Rinconcillo'
