SP18 - Tour de Extremadura - More Hotels Added

After a look through the Rough Guide to Spain and then TripAdvisor a rough plan was established that we should do a clockwise circuit around the central region of the region.

The distances involved in this trip won't be too great so we should have time for a good look around without too much driving about.

I have booked another Parador in Trujillo for two nights. On the booking sites there weren't too many hotels available for our dates. I thought about an anti-clockwise trip around the circuit but that didn't help. So a quick trip to the Parador.es website and I signed us in there.

I booked another hotel in Mérida,  Again for two nights. This one a little less luxurious but it looks very nice.

As we have seven nights to play with, the above leaves two to book.   So I have gone ahead and booked a single night in Badajoz and the last night in Cáceres. These are also decent looking hotels. We will have to get used to the standards after the Paradors. 

That will give us time to meander back to Madrid to return the car in good time for the return flight.  As usual these are on the free cancellation basis.

All of the hotels look pretty decent but finding any with parking other than in public parking was a problem.  Although we will have a hire car.  it needs to be safe.  

Why Extremadura?  Why not?  The area is well served with archaeological stuff to visit and is somewhere we haven't been before.  

Of course. I'd much rather be on the bike than in a hire car, but it's the trip that counts this time.
