Other destinations
To go
By car
To get there from Madrid, only one way to go is the autovía AT 5 where one arrives in Extremadura by Navalmoral de la Mata and there, two options are possible: stay on this axis to arrive at Merida or to Badajoz either to branch off byA-58 To Trujillo to join Caceres or to follow theEX-A1 to achieve Plasencia, count between 2 and 4 hours of road according to your destination.
This rural and border region of Portugal is also easily accessible from other regions ... it is the autovía A-66 which connects the region between those of all the west of theSpain. Since theAndalusia, plan on driving around 3 hours from Seville and of Cordoba. If you arrive from the Castile and Leon or the Castile-la-Mancha, consider an average of 3 to 5 hours of driving depending on where you are coming from. The other regions ofSpain are about a day's drive.
Allow a little more than 2 hours by road if you arrive from Lisbon to Portugal.
Circulate
By car
The rules of the road and signs are similar to those applicable in the neighboring countries of Extremadura and the rest ofSpain.
In addition, we must remember the obligation to have two warning triangles and as many fluorescent vests as there are passengers in the vehicle (the latter must be stowed in the passenger compartment ...) and which must be used as soon as we have to stop at the edge of the tracks. Failure to comply with these rules is punishable by a fine of 90 €.
Speed limits:
- City : 50 km / h
- Route: 90 km / h sometimes raised to 100 km / h
- Toll motorways (not applicable in this region ...) or free: 120 km / h
Due to the rural character of this region as well as its location between two European capitals, the road and motorway network remains unencumbered but new portions of free-use motorways are emerging even in some isolated regions ... no motorway to toll !
The service stations are well distributed across the region and all international bank cards are accepted in payment, those located on the motorway areas are generally open day and night without interruption, a restaurant and a hotel sometimes come in. add to it.
