Old Town of Caceres

Reviewed By Tantiko - Singapore, Singapore

This is a small medieval town which can be covered easily on foot. The outer perimeter of the town is typical of a small modern town but once you reach the older portions, it's all quite well preserved and feels like step back to medieval times. The Plaza Mayor has several eateries and from there, you can wander around the cobblestone walkways to discover the rest of the town. There are probably some worthwhile attractions to explore more thoroughly but with the limited time we had, we enjoyed strolling through this old town.

Monfrague National Park

Reviewed By Alan C - Lancaster, United Kingdom

There are a series of miradores (viewpoints) in picturesque locations from which you can watch the vultures flying around. The viewpoints are all easily accessible by car, with good parking. You can explore them all one after each other and experience different views over some stunning country.

Guided tour by an expert and suitable for any child or adult, who want to learn the history of computing from the first computers personal to the models of 15 years ago, passing also the first PDA, smartphone, and tablet. The Museum is made up of more than 130 computers, of which 70% are from Apple (Complete Collection) and the other 30% are brands such as IBM, Radio Shack, SECOINSA, Spectrum Sinclair, Philips, Dragon, MSX, Atari, BBC, Commodore, Sanyo, Sony, Acorn, Osborne, Amstrad, Toshiba, Siemens, Sharp, Compaq and as time passes, more are added.

It is amazing to see these machines actually and working. You will learn and have a great time on a trip to the past, you will not forget.

La verdad es que nunca esperé encontrar un Museo de la historia de la computación en Cáceres, pero allí está. Sorprendente viaje a través de los diversos avances tecnológicos referentes a la informática y todo lo que ello supuso. Están los tres primeros ordenadores de los fundadores de Apple y muchos más de otras marcas.

Star Archway (Arco de la Estrella)

Reviewed By solomon5 - Florida

When asking how to get to the old town, the response was, "Go through the archway across the Plaza Mayor. Those directions are perfect. It is a fitting transition from the new to the old and back again.

Real Monasterio De Santa Maria De Guadalupe

Reviewed By Adnil-94102 - Vallejo, California

This monastery is absolutely beautiful and amazing, but visitors to Careers the town should understand that the monastery is in the town of Guadalupe in Caceres province, 2 hours drive away. This tourist attraction should not be listed here under Caceres the town. I tried to contact TripAdvisor to fix this, to no avail.

Not a place to overwhelm like some of Caceres, but interesting none the less. It is a private Museum, with donations requested.

Museo de Caceres

Reviewed By toniShanghai - Shanghai

Good place to visit and some English information always useful if unusual in many places in Spain. As other's have said the building is very interesting in it's own right and the Arab bath/ cistern is amazing though why with LED under-lighting I'm not sure.
