A Sunday without an early start: you set off mid-morning, taste at a Ribera del Guadiana winery on the edge of Trujillo, eat there and leave Trujillo for the afternoon, when the stone turns golden. It works best from October to May, when sunset comes at a time that lets you get home for dinner.

## The Day, Hour by Hour

11:30 · Departure. From Cáceres, along the A-58 to Trujillo and the A-5 towards Mérida, exit 259: about three quarters of an hour. From Mérida it is the same motorway in the opposite direction, under an hour; from Badajoz, a little over an hour and a half.

12:30 · Bodegas HABLA. The Habla Selección visit runs on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 and lasts two hours: a tour inside and outside the winery, a three-wine tasting and tapas. It costs €60 for adults, €50 without alcohol and €35 for ages 3 to 17. If you prefer something shorter, Habla Clásico, an hour and a half, costs €38. Both are booked on the winery's website.

14:30 · Lunch at Espacio H. The winery's gastrobar is open on Sundays from 11:00 to 20:00, with the kitchen until 16:00, and you do not need to book. Wines are at shop prices.

16:00 · The Plaza Mayor. Ten minutes by car. Park in the lower part and walk up: you have time to go round the square and its palaces.

16:30 · Sunset visit up to the castle. Turismo Trujillo leaves from its office on the Plaza Mayor and climbs through the medieval village to the alcazaba to arrive in the last light. From November to February it starts at 16:30; in March at 17:00, in April and May at 18:00. It costs €10 for adults and €6 for children, with a minimum of four people. If the group is not completed, climb on your own: the castle costs €2 and opens in the afternoon.

18:15 · Return. You reach Cáceres around seven.

## Who Drives

The winery is on the motorway and the plan ends with the road home. Decide beforehand who does not taste: there is an alcohol-free price on both visits. In the square, water and an afternoon coffee help.

## Cómo llegar
