Don Benito Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Urban parks, natural spaces, buildings of great beauty and so much history. A trip to Don Benito has all the makings of a perfect getaway.

Don Benito is a picturesque Spanish town in the province of Badajoz. What makes it so attractive is the number of natural sites, such as Las Albercas park. Don’t miss the artificial lake, with its swans and geese, or the auditorium, with room for up to 1,000 people.

Of course, if you’re looking to really get in touch with nature, the Sierra de Ortiga is for you. There’s a hiking route there about 15 miles long, and as the route is quite easy, it can be enjoyed by everyone. Along the way you’ll find bunkers and remains of trenches from the Civil War, as well as countless oak trees and wild olive trees. Package deals to Don Benito offer all this and more.

Although the town doesn’t have a castle or cathedral, Don Benito has the Casa de la Cultura, a unique building that is quite beautiful. It’s a white corner building that spans across some four stories, and you're sure to want to get some pics of it for your holiday album. Its name means House of Culture, and it serves as a municipal library, conference centre and backdrop for important local cultural events. Check out the programme when planning your trip to Don Benito!

Nearby you’ll find the church of Santiago to visit, too. This 16th-century church has a beautiful Baroque and Herrerian style on the outside. Once inside, you can take in the Gothic and Renaissance-style interior. When you've seen it with your own eyes, you’ll understand why it was declared a Site of Cultural Interest.

Finally, no trip to Don Benito would be complete without a visit to the ethnographic museum. Here you can take a tour of the last 200 years of the town and the region’s history. There are also guided tours, meaning you won't miss a thing as you learn in a fun, enjoyable way.
