    I would like to indicate that an important setting is also the municipal city of Cáceres and the natural area of ​​Cáceres is called Los Barruecos, not Los Barruevos, in case any traveler wishes to seek information before their visit.

    In the seventh season in chapter three is the Castillo de Almodovar de Córdoba. It appears unmodified with digital effects and is spectacular. I have visited it on several occasions and it is worth it. An unforgivable forgetfulness. I encourage you to see it.
