About Extremadura

Extremadura is dominated by dehesas, a unique landscape of extensive open oak woodland and pasture. Dehesas seem more in keeping with an African savannah than part of Europe. Dehesas cover hundreds of thousands of hectares of the rolling Extremaduran hills, their expanses occasionally broken by sudden, rocky mountainous outcrops or steep river gorges. Other areas are devoid of trees and covered instead by a type of steppe of herbs, grasses and tough Retama brooms. Extremadura’s landscape is wild and open, but also has a very attractive face, with flower-lined streams and a profusion of wildflowers in the dehesas.
