Towns with soul
The jewels of the Southern Countryside
Our region is home to villages in the Campiña Sur that are true hidden treasures, each with its own history and flavor. Start with Llerena, nicknamed the "Little Athens of Extremadura" for its impressive Mudejar-style Plaza Mayor and rich Renaissance heritage. Here, the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Granada and the Convent of Santa Clara transport you to the heart of the Order of Santiago.
Don't miss Berlanga, with its Arroyo Conejos reservoir ideal for gourmet birding and bird watching in an environment of calm waters. In Llera, the Finca de Las Mil Quinientas invites to photographic hiking among ethnography and landscapes that look like living paintings. Villagarcía de la Torre shines with its astro-tourism in the territory túrdulo, where the starry nights are a unique spectacle under skies of low light pollution.
Continue to Fuente del Arco, cradle of robust wines and the Natural Monument of the Mina de la Jayona, a subway slate cathedral that combines adventure and wine tourism. Campillo de Llerena keeps the memory of the Civil War in its wartime corners, perfect for historical guided tours. And it finishes off in Usagre, where a night of stars will take you to the window of the universe, ideal for disconnecting with family or as a couple.
Other enclaves such as Azuaga, with its Periurban Park of La Sierra, or Reina, with its Arab Alcazaba, complete this network of towns in the Southern Countryside that combine tradition and modernity.

Cultural heritage, nature, gastronomy...
Tourist attractions that will leave you breathless
The magic of the Campiña Sur lies in its diversity: protected nature, cultural heritage and Extremaduran gastronomy that awaken the senses. Climb to the Ermita de la Virgen del Ara, at 825 meters above sea level, for panoramic views that take in the Roman Theater of Regina Turdulorum - an imperial legacy unique to Extremadura - and the golden horizons of the countryside.
For ecotourism lovers, the Jayona Mine is a must: declared a Protected Natural Area, it offers guided routes through mysterious galleries and wine tastings of the Campiña Sur. In autumn, the olive groves are tinged with gold, and hiking trails such as the Finca de Las Mil Quinientas capture the ethnographic essence of the area.
Gastronomy? Try the local fare in Llerena: migas extremeñas, cheese from La Serena and wines from the region that pair perfectly with the Mudejar heritage. And for stellar night owls, astro-tourism in Villagarcía de la Torre and Usagre is out of this world, with natural observatories that rival the best in the country.
