Discover Alcuescar

Alcuéscar is a significant spiritual and historical stop on the Via de la Plata. This Cáceres town is known for guarding an architectural jewel: the Basilica of Saint Lucy of Trampal. Dating back to the 7th century, it is one of the few and best-preserved examples of Visigothic religious architecture in southern Europe. A visit here is a breathtaking experience that transports the pilgrim to the dawn of Christianity on the Iberian Peninsula. In addition to this monumental treasure, Alcuéscar offers a peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality, with essential services for the walker. It's an ideal place for a deep rest, reflection, and connection with the most remote roots of faith in a rural Extremaduran setting.
