EMOTIONS OF STONE – Extremadura / Spain: the emotions of the stone, visiting Caceres, Alcantara and Coria

Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time in your life. Meeting Benches. The way to make the world a better place is easy. Choose a bench, where you can publish what you have painted or written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now. Our proposal call any web-traveler to sit into Meeting Benches info@meetingbenches.com to share emotions, observing new creative horizons, also visiting the Extremadura in Spain.

Caceres is the most important city in Extremadura, http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres/ciudades-pueblos/comunidades-autonomas/extremadura.html has lost its old Roman name (Norba), retains the medieval charm of its noble palaces, in its old walls. Covering about 60 km to the northwest, we can get to Alcantara (this is also a city founded by the Romans), wonderfully lesue enclosed within medieval walls. What we will see, near Lake Tagus, is a gigantic Roman bridge six arches: 188 meters of solidity that defy the centuries, from 106 AD.

Still a city of Roman origin: Coria. http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres/ciudades-pueblos/otros-destinos/coria.html This extremely picturesque village retains the most complete city walls of Roman Europe. The city retains its hexagonal plan, outlined by granite blocks that form the walls and towers, for a length of 480 meters. One of those towers is the fifteenth century, you can recognize well, look, is crowned by torricine to transport. You want to walk again? Good. We can go and visit the Cathedral, an imposing Gothic building with a single nave, with beautiful stellar ribs.
