March 2017 Itinerary Link
Caceres was an accidental stop during our driving trip around central Spain. We had planned to go to Salamanca from Seville, but, we decided to cut the driving time and spend more time in whatever town we end up.
We had never heard of Caceres(population 96,000), but a Google search pointed us to this town which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. We stayed a bit southwest of the Old Town, but the uphill walk of 15-20 minutes was not too stiff or difficult. The Old Town is pedestrian only, and you can explore the whole area in 2-3 hours. There were cafes and restaurants in this zone as well.
Right outside of the wall on the south side is their main square, Plaza Mayor, and there are places to eat and shop along the perimeter. Overall, the whole town was very low key and quiet. It was a nice break from all the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities.
