From Badajoz allow an hour and a half; from Salamanca, over two hours: leave earlier. Park outside the wall, since the monumental city has restricted traffic. 10:00 · Arco de la Estrella. This is where Euron Greyjoy enters with his prisoners in the third episode of season seven. Look at the Torre de Bujaco from the Plaza Mayor: it also appears in the scene. 10:30 · Film free tour. An hour and a half with an Activa Tours guide through the shots from both series, from the Cuesta de la Compañía to the facade that plays the Great Library of the Citadel. You pay what you wish and it is in Spanish only. Choose your day and time on its website: if there is no departure that day, carry on by yourself in this same order. 12:15 · Plaza de San Jorge. One of the 25 corners of the city used by House of the Dragon, with the steps of San Francisco Javier above it. 12:45 · Co-cathedral of Santa María. The square in front appears in both series. Inside, €7 with an audio guide and the tower, with the best view of the old town. 14:00 · Lunch at El Figón de Eustaquio. A family house since 1947 in the Plaza de San Juan: regional menu with migas, chanfaina or venison. It does not publish its hours: book by phone. 16:15 · Trujillo castle. In the last episode of season seven, Jaime Lannister and Bronn watch the rival army from these battlements. Park in the lower part and walk up through the medieval town. Entry €2; from October to April it opens in the afternoon from 16:00 to 19:00, and in spring and summer from 17:00 to 20:00: then arrive at five. 17:30 · Plaza Mayor of Trujillo. During the filming of House of the Dragon it was a medieval market and Pizarro gave up his pedestal to a dragon. Walk down it unhurriedly in the afternoon light. 18:15 · Head home. To Mérida it is about 94 km and a little over an hour. ## If you have more time Los Barruecos, in Malpartida de Cáceres, are the setting of the great battle of season seven, according to Turismo de Extremadura, and are close to Cáceres. They do not have a Geocalia page yet: if you go, do it first thing, before the free tour. ## Cómo llegar ### By car From Mérida on the A-66 to Cáceres, and on the A-58 to Trujillo. Park outside both old towns. ### Without a car You reach Cáceres by train from Mérida or Badajoz, but the afternoon in Trujillo needs a car: stay in Cáceres and leave Trujillo for another day. ## Consejos ### Rewatch 7x03 the night before Euron's scene is short, but with it fresh in your mind you recognise every corner. ### Call El Figón the day before It does not publish its hours and at midday it fills up. ## Cuándo no ir Going up to Trujillo castle at three in the afternoon: it closes at midday and does not open until 16:00 or 17:00, depending on the season. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### What was filmed for Game of Thrones in Cáceres?
