Gem of a place.

So good to find a place so full of character, yet hardly any tourists. Fabulous central square surrounded by so many interesting historical buildings. A little bit of forgotten Spain.

Impressive

The historic centre of the beautiful little town of Trujillo is a must-see. The Plaza Mayor is stunning. The buildings are architecturally beautiful. There are numerous cafes in the Square with outdoor seating. This place deserves to be so much better known.
