ORIGIN
In the foothills of the Sierra de San Pedro, dominated by a pasture ecosystem of cork oaks, holm oaks and strawberry trees, is the friendly town of Cordobilla de Lácara. It is attributed its foundation in the 9th century to Muslim settlers from Cordoba, a topominia that connects its name, deriving the appellative of Lácara from the stream in which it sits.
In the vicinity of Cordobilla is the Lácara Dolmen. It is one of the most important megalithic complexes in the Peninsula, declared a National Monument in 1931 and later designated as a Site of Cultural Interest. Its production of organic virgin olive oil is one of the benchmarks in all of Europe, obtaining this product from healthy olives at their right point of maturity.
MONUMENTS
CHURCH OF SAN PEDRO APÓSTOL
Located in the town square, we find this temple of simple construction and small proportions, with a shallow tower on feet facade. Originally from the 16th century, it has a single nave divided into three sections, with an interior space covered by three types of vaults: a dome on pendentives at the head, a cannon with lunettes in the only nave and a exposed brick rib on the choir. It is made up of ashlar masonry and masonry, reinforced with buttresses. It has three entrances. The main portal is the one located on the imafronte, with a semicircular ashlar arch,while the one located on the side of the gospel is half a point lowered. Inside, the main altarpiece stands out, made of gilded wood, with three streets in which interesting paintings and images are housed. Among the images that the church houses, a carving that represents Saint John the Baptist stands out, probably made in the 16th century.
La Salamandrija is located on the main avenue of Cordobilla de Lácara. Easily located and accessible by car, it offers parking facilities on the street, in front of the house or a few meters away. In addition, its location makes it privileged, being 55 km from Cáceres and 44 km from Mérida. Among its many tourist attractions we can highlight its proximity to the Horno Tejero and El Boquerón reservoirs, which are known and frequented by fishermen from all over the world due to the size of their catches. Fishing permits are purchased at a bar located 70 m from the house, allowing you to combine this sport with a family getaway for all audiences. Likewise, it is an attractive area for hunting, bird watching (the Horno Tejero ornithological route has several viewpoints and bird observatories), mushroom gathering and stargazing. 20 km from Cordobilla is what is possibly the most spectacular megalithic monument in the Extremadura region, the Lácara Dolmen.
