The Jerte Valley: thousands of flowers and cherry trees
In the north of Extremadura there is a place that becomes magical every spring: the Jerte Valley.
Usually in late March or early April, the millions of cherry trees in this valley bloom and become a forest of white you will remember all your life. Driving around this area and stopping in villages like Jerte, Tornavacas or Cabezuela del Valle is an amazing experience.By the way, especially if you’re visiting in summer, it’s also well worth continuing on to the Nature Reserve of Garganta de los Infiernos - the Gorge of Hell - with a series of dramatic yet inviting waterfalls and streams.
