Geography of Badajoz

Badajoz is the largest province in Spain, crossed by the Guadiana in a landscape of broad holm-oak and cork-oak dehesas, cereal plains such as La Serena and the fertile Tierra de Barros. The climate is continental Mediterranean, with very hot, dry summers. The scrub and woodland of the dehesas and ranges sustain the summer wildfire risk, though forest cover is lower than in the north. Fun fact: Mérida, the ancient Emerita Augusta, preserves the largest set of Roman ruins in Spain, a World Heritage Site.
