About Zafra / Llerena
Zafra and Llerena are historic towns in the province of Badajoz, central to the rich tapestry of Extremadura's history. Zafra, known historically as 'Sevilla la Chica' (Little Seville), flourished from the 15th century under the Dukes of Feria, whose grand ducal palace, the Alcazaba, remains the town's crowning glory. Its strategic location made it a vital commercial hub. Llerena, once a capital of the Encomienda Mayor de León of the Order of Santiago, boasts a magnificent Plaza Mayor that is one of Spain's most beautiful, framed by porticoed buildings and the striking Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Granada. The towns are famous for their impeccably preserved historic quarters, Renaissance architecture, and their role in the famed 'Ruta de la Plata' pilgrimage and trade route. Culturally, they are deeply rooted in traditional Spanish customs, with vibrant religious festivals and a strong culinary identity centered on Iberian pork, local cheeses, and fine wines. The main districts are the compact Casco Antiguo (Old Town) in each municipality, where nearly all significant monuments, plazas, and daily life are concentrated.
