Geography of Cáceres

Cáceres spreads across northern Extremadura, between the Tagus valley and the ranges of the Central System —Gata, Hurdes, Gredos— and the Jerte valley, famed for its cherry trees. Monfragüe National Park protects an exceptional Mediterranean forest. The climate is continental Mediterranean, with dry summers. The pine woods and scrub of the steep, sparsely populated northern ranges concentrate a high wildfire risk. Fun fact: Monfragüe hosts one of the world's largest colonies of black vulture and Spanish imperial eagle.
