It is a guided walk through what has been filmed in the streets of Cáceres. It is organised by Activa Tours, the guide agency on the Plaza Mayor, and lasts an hour and a half. This is not a filming location in itself, but a way of visiting them all with someone who shows you each shot.
What you see
The route follows Euron Greyjoy's path through King's Landing in season seven of Game of Thrones, when he enters the city with his prisoners: the Arco de la Estrella, the Plaza de Santa María, the Cuesta de la Compañía. According to the agency, it ends at the facade that in the series is the Great Library of the Citadel, where Samwell Tarly studies to be a maester. There is a stop for House of the Dragon, set in the reign of Viserys Targaryen, and others for films and series shot in the city, such as La catedral del mar, Inés del alma mía or 1492: Conquest of Paradise.
Turismo de Extremadura confirms the basis: the Euron scene was shot at the Arco de la Estrella, the Torre de Bujaco, the Torre de los Púlpitos, the Cuesta de la Compañía and the Plaza de Santa María, and House of the Dragon used up to 25 corners of the old town.
How it works
- Meeting point: Plaza Mayor, at the foot of the steps of the Arco de la Estrella. Look for the guide dressed in pink.
- Duration: 1 h 30.
- Price: it is a free tour. There is no fee: at the end you pay the guide what you think it was worth.
- Language: Spanish only. For other languages, the agency can be reached on 924 110 888.
- Booking: choose the day on their website; the dates and times it publishes change with the season.
- Accessibility: not suitable for people with reduced mobility. Everything is uphill and cobbled.
Who it is for
For those who have seen the series and want to put each scene in its place, and for teenagers who get bored with a tour of palaces. If what you want is to go inside the monuments, the full tour from the same agency includes admissions; this one does not enter any.
Tips
- Rewatch season seven The third episode has the Euron scene: watching it the night before changes the walk.
- Shoes with grip The slopes of the monumental city are cobbled and slippery.
- Come back at night Without the guide and with the streets lit, the same corners look more like a set than by day.
