Zafra

Zafra is located in southern Extremadura, just north of the Andalucia border, and bears a lot of similarities to the beautiful white villages of Andalucia. It’s only a small place and makes a relaxing change from the hustle and bustle of the bigger Spanish towns and cities, and it’s VERY traditionally Spanish with its siestas and children playing in the plazas in the afternoon.

We stayed at Hotel Las Palmeras (€34 per night), right on historic Plaza Grande and give it 5 out of 5 for Spanish ambience, location and value!
