About Guadalupe

Guadalupe grew around the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe, a fourteenth-century foundation listed by UNESCO. Visitors come for the Gothic church, the Mudéjar cloisters and the embroidered vestments in the museum, and the shrine has drawn pilgrims for centuries. Trujillo, Cáceres and the Monfragüe national park lie within an hour's drive. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable months, summers are very hot and dry, and winter days are cold but calm.
