Casa Rural San Pedro
The house farmhouse, which structure dates back of beginning of last century, has been rehabilitated respecting the own style of the farmhouses of the zone, where the stone, the wood and the slate are the most used decorative elements, so much for the exterior as interior coatings ...
 
Badajoz the capital of the Spanish province of Badajoz in the autonomous community of Extremadura, is situated close to the Portuguese frontier, on the left bank of the river Guadiana, and the Madrid-Lisbon railway. The population in 1990 was 126,781; in 2002 it was 136,851. Badajoz is the see of a bishop. It occupies a slight eminence, crowned by the ruins of a Moorish castle, and overlooking the Guadiana. A strong wall and bastions, with a broad moat and outworks, and forts on the surrounding heights, give the city an appearance of great strength. The river, which flows between the castle-hill and the powerfully armed fort of San Cristobal, is crossed by a magnificent granite bridge, originally built in 1460, repaired in 1597 and rebuilt in 1833. The whole aspect of Badajoz recalls its stormy history; even the cathedral, built in 1238, resembles a fortress, with massive embattled walls. The association football team in the city is Club Deportivo Badajoz who plays in Tercera División. Alburquerque is a small village in the province of Badajoz. Its name became the name (with a typographical error) of the city of Albuquerque of United States by the Spanish conquerors.
