The cuisine of Badajoz is born of the dehesa: acorn-fed Iberian ham, loin and chorizos that call for a young red from the Ribera del Guadiana. Lamb caldereta and cochifrito hold their own alongside the full-bodied tempranillos of Tierra de Barros.

There is no shortage of migas extremeñas, spreadable Serena cheese and desserts such as the técula mécula of Olivenza or the perrunillas. A fino or a cava from Almendralejo pairs wonderfully with the aperitif before sitting down at the table.

The historical depth of the province is immense: Mérida preserves one of the most complete Roman ensembles in Hispania, with its National Museum of Roman Art, while the Alcazaba of Badajoz recalls the city's Andalusian past.

The wine tradition of Tierra de Barros is felt in the wineries and presses of Almendralejo, where wine tourism dialogues with the Carnival, the processions and a wine culture that dates back to Roman times on the banks of the Guadiana.
