Don Benito, the lively city of Extremadura

-->

Extremadura is the Spanish area located north of Andalucia and east of Portugal. Don Benito is one of the biggest villages in this area, with a population around 33,000 habitants. It is just one hour far from Badajoz and half an hour far from the capital of Extremadura: Merida, widely known city because of its Roman ruins.

However, people don't need to go to the main cities to find important fashion shops, shoe shops, jewellers... Don Benito is considered the heart of shopping for all villages close to it. The shopping area is concentrated around the city centre, where it is forbidden the traffic. So it's the perfect place to forget the car, leave the stress of the “big city” behind and enjoy a long walk looking around.

But if your passion is the food, there are many restaurants where it is offered typical Spanish food. Don't forget taste Serrano ham and the other special pork products, widely known in all this area thanks to their quality and excellent flavour.

Yet if you are a Cosmopolitan person and you love fast food restaurants, don't freak out! McDonalds doesn't exist there, but there are many others that you can enjoy as well.

The weather, the nightlife and Cultural activities are other attractions that you will find in this warm and lively city.
