Guadalupe

Guadalupe is located some 110 miles (177 kilometers) from Madrid, the capital of Spain.

Why not spend some time exploring Guadalupe? Start with a trip to the the Monasterio de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe.

Staying in only one place, regardless of its popularity, can only ever give you a limited view into the wider qualities of a region. So be sure to set aside enough time to enjoy Extremadura's other cultural and natural attractions. Navalmoralejo, lays 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southwest, while Madronera lies 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the east.

Approximately 55 miles (89 kilometers) to the west of Guadalupe is Caceres, a regional center where you'll find Santa Maria Cathedral, Casa de los Toledo-Moctezuma and Plaza de Santa Maria. Casa de las Veletas, Golfines de Abajo Palace and Plaza de Toros are just a sample of the many other visitor attractions in Caceres.

Each place has its unique history and the Extremadura area has its own fair share of stories to tell. The fortresses here provide a great snapshot to the past. If the weather forecast makes you want to stay indoors, head to Extremadura's history museums.

Extremadura offers those in the area with a wide range of laid-back activities, such as bird watching and wildlife watching. Enjoy a break from seeing the sights and spend a relaxing afternoon boating or wind surfing.

At the end of your adventure in Guadalupe, no doubt you'll bid this region a teary "Adiós" But be comforted by the fact that you'll be leaving with photos and memories that you'll have for years to come.
