Spain - Extremadura
Zafra
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Leave Seville heading west across the bridge and turn north toward Mérida on the N630 to Zafra. Zafra preserves one of the most impressive fortified palaces in the region, now the Parador de Zafra, on one of the prettiest little plazas in the area. Actually the former palace of the Duke of Feria, it was the residence of Hernán Cortés just before he embarked for the New World. Its conversion to a parador has not spoiled it in the least, and it’s worth a short visit to see the fabulous chapel and the other faithfully restored public rooms. Leave Zafra on N435 and join the N630, which takes you to Mérida, repository of the richest Roman remains in Spain—all in a modern, sprawling city.
