Almendralejo Guided Tour

We'll meet at the selected time at the main entrance of the Plaza de Toros to begin this guided tour of Almendralejo, the capital of the Extremadura region of Tierra de Barros.

Our first stop will be the Huerta Montero Prehistoric Sepulchre, one of the most unique burial sites in Extremadura, dating back over 4600 years, used as a collective burial and place of worship in the Copper Age.

Next, we'll proceed to the historic center of Almendralejo to explore the city's history, founded by the Order of Santiago after the end of Al Andalus. We'll visit the Gothic Church of Nuestra Señora de la Purificación, observing its Plateresque façade and Herrerian-style tower. Highlights include the Crucified Christ of Juan de Ávalos and a modern replica of the main altarpiece, which was destroyed during the Civil War.

We will then visit the Monsalud Palace, an emblematic building in Almendralejo, connected to the writer José de Espronceda.

Lastly, we will visit the Teatro Carolina Coronado, a modernist theater dedicated to the poet born in Almendralejo. This marks the conclusion of our three-hour tour.
