Sephardic Route in Extremadura

Discover and explore the Sephardic roots in Sefarad

A labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, steep slopes, mysterious passageways, and cluster houses are protected under a framework of chestnut and adobe wood. The visitor gets the impression that after a bend in their path, a medieval Sephardi will murmur in Ladino. Surprise unique and unrepeatable corners at every step. In summer Hervás welcomes tourists with concerts, plays and the famous festival of the Conversos.

Noble, Loyal, and Beneficial City was founded in the year 1186, where the King ennobled it and printed on its silver shield "UT PLACEAT DEO ET HOMINIBUS" (For the pleasure of God and men). Plasencia offers a unique slice of life, where it unifies its agricultural and commercial identity with its noble and regal origin; this is translated throughout a tourist's itinerary of the city. Surrounded by valleys and beautiful vegetation, its urban heart has cathedrals, palaces, and squares and monuments. This is where clerics, Jews, Christians, gentlemen, and courtiers united under the same Extremadura sky.
