The Villuercas-Ibores-Jara region, to which our farm in Castañar de Ibor resides, has been declared a UNESCO World Geopark given its diverse flora and flauna. The area spans over 2,500 square kilometers and offers a rich mix of geology, botany, biodiversity, and cultural history that would be impossible to introduce in this too-small space. Located in the eastern part of Cáceres, our corner of Extremadura sits closest to Madrid.
