Serviced Apartments in Plasencia

If you want to see the real Spain, then renting a serviced apartment in Plasencia is a good way to do it. Situated in western Spain, towards the border with Portugal, the town of Plasencia has a lot to occupy the visitor, as well as being handy for nearby parks, lakes and mountains. And of course, for the military historian that lurks in most men, a holiday rental in Plasencia puts you right in the middle of some of the most exciting battle fields of the Napoleonic Wars. Seen Sharpe, starring Sean Bean? Relive it here.

Plasencia is an interesting place to visit in its own right, with a double line of medieval walls all around it. It has six gates and no less than sixty eight towers. Your photographs from your holiday let in Plasencia will be stunning, with such an incredible backdrop. On the same lines, there is a ‘double’ cathedral, called in fact Les Catedrales, to emphasise the point. When you are staying in your Plasencia apartment rental, you will find this enormous building a useful landmark. The story of how it ended up looking so amazing is intriguing. The original cathedral was considered to be too old fashioned and in the sixteenth century building began on a new one, which was to gradually replace the old. In the eighteenth century it still wasn’t finished, so work stopped, but with various elements of both cathedrals fused together in a very unusual way, so however many cathedrals and churches you have seen, the one you can visit whilst staying in your Plasencia city centre (center) apartment will not be like them at all!

Churches and monasteries dominate in Plasencia, but there are also lots of shops, bars and restaurants. The local speciality here is migas, a mixture of Spanish sausage, breadcrumbs and bacon. If you fancy something a little healthier, there are also casseroles and stews. If you like fish you must try tench, a freshwater fish not often found on menus elsewhere, but delicious. Staying in a short stay apartment in Plasencia will be a very relaxing experience, and it is easy to fit in with the Spanish way of life, with a nice siesta mid afternoon and eating late into the evening. The weather can be quite hot, but the night time temperatures encourage al fresco eating and you probably won’t return to you Plasencia aparthotel until the moon is high in the sky.
