Declared UNESCO World Heritage CityCáceres is a place where the past and the present dialogue at every corner. Its historic quarter, one of the most complete medieval and Renaissance complexes in Europe, invites you to lose yourself among cobbled streets, Moorish walls and noble palaces. Emblematic spaces such as the Plaza Mayor, the Co-cathedral of Santa María, the Arco de la Estrella or the Torre de Bujaco transport the visitor to another era, while the present-day city pulsates with a vibrant cultural scene and a gastronomy of excellence headed by Atrium.
This connection between art, history and contemporary life is reflected in the festival. Atrium Musicaepromoted by the Atrio Cáceres Foundation. Under the artistic direction of Antonio Moral, this cycle celebrates the union between music, heritage and gastronomy in unique venues in the city, bringing together top-level international performers and consolidating Cáceres as a cultural reference on the European scene.
The natural surroundings of the city offer unique experiences. Only 14 km away is the Natural Monument of Los BarruecosA spectacular granite landscape where art, archaeology and nature coexist. Its rocky formations, its white storks and the Vostell Museum Malpartida -dedicated to the Fluxus movement- make this enclave an essential place to visit. It is no coincidence that the series Game of Thrones chose these lands as a filming location.
Further north, the Monfragüe National Park is a paradise for nature lovers. At the confluence of the rivers Tajo and Tiétar, its Mediterranean forests and rocky areas are a refuge for more than 200 species of birds, from the iberian imperial eagle to the largest colony of black vultures in the world. Visitors can walk along trails, observe the fauna or enjoy the spectacle of the deer bellowing in autumn.
The journey is completed by exploring nearby gems: TrujilloThe city is the cradle of conquistadors and has a monumental main square; Guadeloupewith its World Heritage Royal Monastery; and PlasenciaThe walled city combines history, dynamism and proximity to landscapes such as the Jerte Valley.
After a day of discoveries, there is nothing better than returning to the calm world of Atrium. Its pools, hammam and wellness areas - integrated in a restored ancient palace - offer a unique experience of relaxation. A refuge where architecture, history and comfort merge to make Cáceres an unforgettable destination.
