About the province of Cáceres:
Cáceres is one of the two provinces in the autonomous community of Extremadura, in western Spain, bordering Portugal. The province is known for its extensive natural environments, including part of the Monfragüe National Park, which is a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, and the Tagus River International Natural Park. The capital city, also named Cáceres, boasts a well-preserved old town with a wealth of Renaissance architecture and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province's history is rich with Roman, Moorish, and medieval Christian influences. The economy traditionally relied on agriculture, with a particular emphasis on the production of cherries, tobacco, and the famous Iberian ham, derived from pigs fed on the acorns of the dehesas (a type of wooded pastureland typical of the region). Cáceres is also known for its cultural events, including traditional festivals and fiestas.
