- Badajoz border with Portugal and emblematic monuments such as Puerta Palma,
- Caceres, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with lots of streets, palaces, museums and other attractions you will not ever see anywhere else.
- The environment - Valencia de Alcántara is about 12km - Jewish Quarter, 15th and 16th century majestic church of Our Lady of Rocamador declared monument of historical interest. The daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel, got married to the King of Portugal Manuel the Fortunate here. In August this event is celebrated wearing costumes in the fashion of the time.
Worthy of note - the cluster of villages surrounding the city, such as Alcorneo, Jola, Aceña de la Borrega, Ñas Lanchelas, El Pino, Puerto Roque, Las Casiñas, La Fontañera, and San Pedro de los Majarretes. All of them are really beautiful, but specially San Pedro because our Patron Saint, San Pedro de Alcántara took habits in its convent.
- Weather - Not like in Extremadura. The breeze sent by our Portuguese neighbours makes temperature decrease 4 or 5 degrees and its microclimate makes vegetables and fruits production abound everywhere.
- Cuisine - Diverse variety in each village featuring the "frite" of goat, chicken and rabbit, "chanfaina" of Extremadura, "buche" (also called "botillo"), Iberian ham and loin and other Portuguese foods such as as golden cod, grilled, and more.
