San Vicente de Alcántara Railway Station

This castle, located in the village of San Vicente de Alcántara in the province of Badajoz, has been an exceptional witness to diverse episodes of history.

For centuries this building has been a part of the defence line on the border with Portugal, it was very important for the Order of Alcántara and nowadays it is very well preserved and habitable.

The area attracts kestrels throughout the year, especially in the breeding season.

The richness and variety of the natural surroundings of the San Pedro mountain range is truly overwhelming. Its typical Mediterranean ecosystem alternates woods with pastureland.
