Where to stay in Trujillo

Trujillo has about 8,600 inhabitants, so the centre can be covered on foot. The main sights are around the Plaza Mayor: the palaces, the church of Santa María la Mayor, from the 13th century, and the castle, a former Moorish fortress. If you don’t want to take the car during your visit, check on each listing’s map the distance to the square. The municipal area is very large, about 650 km², so if a place to stay is outside the built-up area, check how far it is from the centre.

Staying here suits several kinds of trip:

• A route through Extremadura. Cáceres is 45 km away on the A-58 motorway, so you can combine the two cities. See also places to stay in Cáceres.
• Nature. The EX-208 road towards Plasencia crosses Monfragüe National Park.
• A stop on the road. Trujillo is on the A-5 motorway, which links Madrid with Badajoz. It is a practical stop if you travel by car.

Getting there and around

Trujillo has no train, so the most convenient way is to come by car. The main roads are the A-5 (Madrid–Badajoz), the A-58 to Cáceres and the EX-208 to Plasencia. Once in the town, the historic centre is visited on foot; bear in mind that there are slopes and cobbled streets.
