It is only 40 minutes by bus from Caceres. From the distance you will see high city walls surrounding the hill and the towers of Santa Maria de Mayor church. It is short walk from the tiny bus station to the market square where I stay in friendly Alojamientos de Plaza Mayor. So far it is the nicest place I stayed here: clean room with bath, two towels and TV for just 20 euro – very good deal!
On Plaza Mayor in front of San Martin church you will see huge statue of Pizarro on the horse. Trujillo was his home town. Some people say that he was cruel to the Incas. I saw his grave in Lima, Peru and they do not like him there… Here he has his casa-museo.
But I like Trujillo with the churches, medieval palaces and narrow streets. Huge Arab castle is overlooking the city, bells are ringing – fortunately only during the day.
But why they cheat me here. In the bus station I wanted tu buy the ticket to Salamanca. But the guy from the window sent me to the agency opposite the station. And they charged me 3 euro extra! Stay away from agencies – in such a case it is better to buy ticket from the driver!
