Plasencia is a small town, the centre has narrow hilly streets, parking in the centre is difficult but there is plenty of free parking near to the park with an escalator to take you up the steep hill to the centre. There are several supermarkets, a Carrafeur on the North side and several smaller supermarkets on the south side. There is a river running along the East side. There are many restaurants available, fast food near to the Carrafeur and more upmarket ones in the centre. Plasencia is at the foot of the Jerte valley, where most of the cherries in Spain are grown, you can drive to the top of the valley, which takes around an hour and is very scenic.

Interesting old town and surprisingly few tourists. We booked in advance a guided visit (in English) through the tourist office wich is to recommend. We tried the restaurants InMercado and Casa Juan and both had good food to fair prices. Casa Juan had an unusual table decor and served a typical local dinner including the sheep milk cheese Tarta de Casar.

Surprisingly attractive old town which is the perfect base for touring this attractive region. Atiu can walk everywhere particularly around the medieval walled city with a myriad of narrow pedestrian streets and bustling plaza full of bars, quaint shops and restaurants. We liked the traditional Bar Espagnol and for breakfast El Montadito. Churros are a must! Thé quarter around the parador is particularly stunning with old churches, plazas and monumental decaying palaces topped by multiple stork nests. Similarly around the old cathedral, Santa Clara monastery. Calle Del Sol is the main shopping street leading to a lively plaza just outside the city walls. Take time to visit La Isla gardens beside the River Jerte, also popular cafe and restaurant with outside terrace, where a riverside walk takes you all the way up to the dam and reservoir in the Jerte valley. In the summer this provides the local people with a large outdoor nature asl swelling pool. From here you can discover the north of this attractive region. Taking day trips by car to the Jerte valley, La Vera, Ambroz with Hervas, then the towns of Caceres, Trujillo, Guadalupe and the incredible Monfrague national park.m with its towering crags g ce ibères with black and griffon vultures. Definately worth a longet stay

The hotel is located on an industrial estate. The heating in our room was not working, so we had to change rooms which the management did straight away. We had a very basic evening meal, but the breakfast was very poor. I would suggest this hotel is best suited to people working in the area rather than tourists.
