The cheese star of Extremadura:Route of the Torta del Casar
From the Sierra de San Pedro to the Sierra de Montánchez extend the areas of the Torta del Casar, that melted soft cheese from Extremadura, which is one of the best cheeses in Spain. The Ruta de la Torta del Casar takes the traveller to the producers of this exceptional cheese.
It passes through historic sites such as the old town of Cáceres, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and leads to cultural landscapes such as the Talaván reservoir with its rich fauna. There are several cheese museums along the way - most notably the Centro de la Interpretation de la Torta del Casar in Almoharín. Best time to visit: mid-October during the Casar Cheese Week.
