Rural architecture in Cabezuela del Valle in the Jerte Valley

I will not tell you that in the Jerte Valleyat north of Extremadura, you will find villages that are true monumental complexes, or even towns with great architectural harmony, as it is not so.

However, during your visit of the Jerte Valley you will have the opportunity to find some corners that are a good exponent of the rural architecture from the area

I could verify this during my last trip to this area of ​​Extremadura on the occasion of the Cerecera In summer, that time when the cherry trees that extend throughout the valley are no longer covered in the white color of the flowers but in the intense red color of the cherries.

You will find 16th-century parish churches, and also hermitages, such as Our Lady of Peñas Albas of the 18th century in Cabezuela del Valle.

The latter are also found in Cabezuela del Valle, perhaps the most interesting town from an architectural point of view.
