Zafra is one of the most beautiful Spanish towns y Zafra is one of the most beautiful Spanish towns you probably haven’t heard of 🇪🇸

It’s situated between Seville and Merida, with a history dating back to the Roman period. There aren’t too many things to do in Zafra, but there’s enough to keep you busy for at least half a day! 

Do you like to visit smaller towns when you travel? 🫶🏼

I bet you didn’t know Spain could look like this I bet you didn’t know Spain could look like this! 😳

#Merida is located in the region of #Extremadura, and while it may be most known for its ties to the Roman Empire, it also has some unique Moorish architecture and medieval attractions to see too 🏛️

Have you been to a city like this before outside of Italy? 🇪🇸
