extremadura suggestions
 

Looking for suggestions from anyone that has travelled through out
extremadura and "discovered" some perfect little towns or villages that have
absolutely NO tourist sites but have a great location (on a river or within
easy reach of hiking trails and have a nice clean hostal available) Not too
interested in what you can find in guide books. I am driving so prefer to
be off the beaten path!
Thanks

Virtually anywhere! You wont be bothered by hordes of tourists in
Extremadura and Spanish hotels are nearly always clean whatever the
price. If you get away from the main centres you will constantly drive
through villages where they are surprised to see a stranger. Hiking
trails are another thing, if you do find any, I doubt they will be
busy. Maybe ask in Trujillo about the Sierra de Guadalupe? People do
walk in the sera de sao mamede, I understand. Rivers near hostals near
trails defeats me, I'm afraid.

In Extremedura, _everywhere_ is off the beaten track! It's a _superb_ bit of
Spain, and touristy it is definitely not! It could be a hot place to go
walking though......

Parque Natural de Monfragüe is well worth a visit - and Trujillo is a small
town close by infested with storks. There are a few suggested routes on
http://alcazaba.unex.es/rutas/index.html

Extremedura Junta is at http://www.juntaex.es - there may be some
information links from there.

hwyl!
