A perfect summer’s day in Extremadura

Summer in Extremadura invites you to slow down. Mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons are spent by the pool, and as the sun sets, the countryside is filled with silence and a sky full of stars.

At Finca El Azahar, just a few minutes from Trujillo, we believe that the best holidays are those enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Waking up surrounded by nature

The day begins with an al fresco breakfast, prepared with fresh, seasonal produce. Afterwards, a stroll amongst the olive trees, a visit to the vegetable garden or simply a spot of reading in the shade of a tree are enough to remind you just how good it feels to switch off.

The pleasure of doing nothing

When the heat really kicks in, the saltwater pool becomes the favourite spot of the day. A refreshing dip, a sun lounger and the sounds of nature are all you need to enjoy the summer.

Flavours of Extremadura

At Finca El Azahar, we like to make good food part of the experience. You can enjoy a picnic in the garden or an al fresco dinner prepared using produce from small-scale producers in Extremadura, along with fruit, vegetables and aromatic herbs from our own vegetable patch, whenever the season allows.

Because discovering a place also means discovering its flavours.

A getaway to Trujillo

As evening falls, Trujillo invites you to take a stroll through its Plaza Mayor, wander through its historic streets or watch the sunset from the castle. And, on returning to the estate, the tranquillity of the countryside sets the pace once more.

A summer to remember

You don’t need grand plans to enjoy an unforgettable holiday. Sometimes all it takes is a leisurely breakfast, a dip in the pool, a lovely dinner and a night under the stars.
