Valle del Jerte
Valle del Jerte is a rural area east of Plasencia, Spain. It is on the eastern boundary of Extremadura with Castile and Leon.
Understand
Restaurants, hotels, and hiking areas are found in both the villages and the agricultural parts of the valley. A reservoir to the southwest, mountain ranges to the north and south, and a mountain pass in the northeast mark the boundaries of Valle del Jerte.
There are several villages in the valley. Some of the largest villages from southwest to northeast include:
Get in
The highway N-110 connects the villages across the region with Castile and Leon (to the northeast) and Plasencia (to the southwest). As a result you will want a car to navigate this region but there are bus and train networks in nearby Plasencia.
Get around
By car
The best way to navigate this valley is via car, given its rural nature and minor/private roads leading to accommodation and points of interest.
