Introduction In the central part of the province, we will follow this river towards the west, which infuses life on its shores, sometimes abrupt but always fertile; along a faithful castle that surveys the border or Raya as it is locally known, we will go up stream passing through craftsmen's villages, ferocious cli s and the ancient city of Caura. There we can see the city walls, a cathedral, a museum that was an erstwhile prison... and we will make sure that we visit all of them.

Did you know that...? The Cross-border Smuggling Route is held in May: a hiking trip that recalls smuggling over the Raya, linking Zarza la Mayor to the Portuguese town of Salvaterra do Extremo.
