Our second visit was to see particular birds. With the benefit of Martin's advice we saw everything we hoped to. The rooms are comfortable, the meals tasty, Martin and Claudia excellent hosts and the prices very reasonable .

Returning for our second stay at el Recuerdo where everything was as friendly, helpful and comfortable as ever. Nice clean rooms, well decorated and with good bathrooms and showers. Ample parking and outdoor seating (when it was warm enough!). Good breakfasts complete with up to date information from Martin and Claudia of local events as well as bird sightings and... More

I strongly recommend Casa Rural El Recuerdo in Pago de San Clemente. It has a perfect location, located in the most beautiful rural surroundings, and close to everything else you may want to visit/see while in Extremadura. We spent five days just hiking in and around the small village and didn't get tired of it, and also went on excursions... More

We spent the first 3 nights of our first trip to Spain here. Martin and Claudia were great hosts. We are not birders, but El Recuerdo served as our home base for visiting Trujillo, Guadalupe, and Merida. El Recuerdo is in a beautiful, rural area where we enjoyed evening walks and a morning stroll down the lane that runs beside... More

I stayed here for 6 nights. Food is home cooked. No choice, but you are invited to state what you don't like at the beginning of the trip and I enjoyed every meal. It was the second time I have stayed here on bird watching trips (for which the area is excellent). Martin has an excellent knowledge of the area... More

Thanks to other TA contributors, we found Casa Rural El Recuerdo for a 3-night stay in September. We stayed here because we wanted to bird in the area, and had read positive reviews of Martin's (the owner, with his wife, Claudia) birding expertise. We are SO glad we stayed here! The inn is charming and beautiful; our room was spacious... More

A lovely converted building about 14 kms south of Trujillo set in beautiful countryside. Martin and Claudia make you feel at home as soon as you arrive and we enjoyed some good, homely Spanish cooking. In addition to all this, Martin is quite a well known birding expert and we joined him for two days birdwatching in and around the... More

We loved spending a week here with Claudia, martin, Patrick and of course Morro, the black German pointer. It is in an ideal location, a short drive form Trujillo and within a one hour drive of Caceres, Guadalope, Merida and Montfrague National Park. We started with a great breakfast each morning, having been woken by the cockerl (that was our... More

A tremendous place for the nature lover, particularly bird-watchers. Huge amount of knowledge and friendly advice on where to go and what to see. Interestingly restored old building in small, quiet village a few miles out of the fascinating town of Trujillo. The Extremedura is a fascinating and largely ignored part of Spain, there is plenty to see, history and... More
