Among Spain’s regions, Extremadura stands out for its dehesa landscapes of holm oak, pasture and traditional livestock farming. The Guadiana crosses the region’s central plains and runs through Mérida, Extremadura’s capital, whose Roman archaeological ensemble is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its theatre, amphitheatre and long Roman bridge provide an exceptional link to Augusta Emerita, founded as a Roman colony in 25 BC. Beyond the urban centres, cork oak woodland, reservoirs and extensive farmland define a sparsely populated interior bordering Portugal. Iberian ham, especially jamón ibérico, is central to local food traditions. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Extremadura.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
