Trujillo linked to the discovery of America

Trujillo (link, lien, enlace)

Trujillo, city of 9860 inhabitants located between the bottoms of the Tojo and Guadiana rivers, contains an important group of churches, castles and manor houses that are centered around the Plaza Mayor square and which are declared Property of Cultural Interest. Since the 16th century it was the cradle of illustrious characters linked to the discovery of America. Trujillo is within the Route of the Conquistadors, which includes other towns in Extremadura like Medellín, Villanueva de la Serena or Jerez de los Caballeros.

We arrived in Trujillo just the weekend of their festival cheeses, meaning it was crowded and the beautiful plaza was impossible to photograph. On the other hand we were delighted to taste so many different cheeses accompanied and drink local wines with. Sorry that my pics can't transmit the smell ;)
Enjoy
