El Galapero is a traditional farmhouse located near Caceres, the capital city of the region of Extremadura, Spain. It is located in an area of breathtaking beauty and is home to many species of birds, making it a popular location for bird-watchers.
The surrounding area is interesting from an archaeological perspective; just a few miles away is the town of Alcantara, known for its second century Roman bridge and San Benito's convent. Larger nearby cities, also well worth visiting are Caceres and Trujillo, both of which I can recommend to the foreign visitor, having been there myself.
El Galapero is also just 6 miles from Portugal - so it is a great way to add another country to your tour without going too far out of your way. These days you don't even need to show your passport when travelling from one mainland European country to another, in fact there is not even a border control.
