“It’s a place from where the conquistadors set out to find the New World. The Sierra mountains cut through the middle. There are stony hills and deep silent forests, home to wild boar and red deer, to pheasant and ravens and to the black stork and the Spanish Imperial Eagle. Moorish walls with lookout towers encircle the ancient town of Cáceres, while outside those walls are valleys dotted with ancient stone castles and monasteries. Herds of cattle, the Iberian Avelina-black and the Casareña Whi...te, roam those valleys, as well as flocks of sheep from which comes one of Spain’s most famous cheeses, the Torta del Casar. Wild pigs feed on acorns, giving the region its famous Iberian ham, and there are orchards and groves of olives and vineyards.
