A walk of about two and a half hours through the historic centre of Cáceres, led in English, that follows the traces left by Muslims, Jews and Christians in this World Heritage city. It starts at the door of the Co-cathedral of Santa María on the Plaza de Santa María, a medieval church that was one of the four parish churches of the old town.
From there the route turns to the city's defences and its noble houses: the Almohad wall and its historic gates, among them the Arco de la Estrella, and the Palacio de los Golfines de Abajo, a palace linked to the Catholic Monarchs. The order of the stops may change for organisational reasons, and the tour ends back in the city centre.
