There is always something for the birdwatcher to see in Extremadura. The diverse range of habitats and year round Mediterranean climate mean that many species that are difficult to find in the rest of Europe can be found in good numbers in Extremadura. Globally threatened species such as Spanish Imperial Eagle, Cinereous Vulture, Black Stork, Bonelli's Eagle, Black Wheatear and Egyptian Vulture are all well represented here in Extremadura.
Mérida, the capital city of Roman westernmost province of Lusitania and today of the Extremadura region, was founded in 25 BC. It was designed as a colony for emperor Augustus’ veteran soldiers (the emeritus), thereby its Roman name of Emerita Augusta.
Trujillo is a small town, built around a hilltop fort. Throughout its history, it changed hands several times, and was finally reconquered by the Christians in 1232. It is believed that the Virgin of Victory helped the king Fernando III of Castille to take the town from the Arabs, and today she is celebrated as the town’s patron saint.
