Extremadura, whatever its meaning is one of Spain's poorest regions.  It is also full of charm, beauty and history.  The town of Guadalupe, from where Columbus set out for America and where he returned to pay tribute for his success; still is a place of pilgrimage and  rather quaint.  The Parador is quite perfect for a romantic break and there do not seem to be any American tourists, just Spanish pilgrims and brides...

There remain tiny villages which time seems to have passed by and towns and monuments which always remind you of their conquistador heritage.
