Though landlocked Extremadura, in the west of Spain, has a mostly mediterranean climate. It is an important area for wildlife, particularly the Tagus River Natural Park and Monfragüe National Park.
The north of Extremadura includes the Sierra de Gredos, the Sierra de Béjar and Sierra de Gata which separates Extremadura from Castile. The centre includes the Sierra de las Villuercas, the Sierra de Montánchez and the Sierra de San Pedro, which form part of the Montes de Toledo. The south includes the Sierra Morena which separates Extremadura from Andalusia and the Sierra de Tentudía.

Extremadura is divided into two provinces:
Badajoz with the ancient roman city of Mérida as its capital. The Vía de la Plata (Silver Road) from Cadiz to Oviedo is also from the Roman period and passes through the ancient towns of Badajoz: Zafra, Mérida, Caceres (World Heritage) and Plasencia. Not far from this road are the national parks of Monfragüe and Cornalvo.
Caceres is a province rich in cathedrals, palaces and stately homes, abundant in productive agricultural land and diverse natural landscapes including the Monfragüe National Park.

Extremadura has preserved its archaeological and natural beauty and is largely unspoilt by development. Seville airport is close to southern Extremadura and prices are relatively low. For this reason Extremadura is a popular choice for those seeking to buy and rent property whether for use as a home or a holiday rental.
