Rural tourism is to know the province of Cáceres in a different way, immersing ourselves in the roots of our peoples and taking advantage of the legacy of our ancestors. With this philosophy, the Newspaper today visits the beautiful town of Montemayor Baths where you can see authentic jewels of houses with a lot of history and architectural charm. And we cannot doubt that the success of the trip is guaranteed: the residence we choose is the Los Postigos rural house, dated in 1816, which was an old winery and is located in the center of the municipality. It is named for the portholes in the windows and it is located at 35 Vía de la Plata street.
The house is carefully decorated, trying to preserve all the flavor of the times when it belonged to a private family that made an artisanal wine; It also has a lagar (container where the grapes are pressed or pressed to obtain the must), a small Roman column of Cáparra from the 2nd century, a sink from the same date, furniture over 150 years old, a fountain (spectacular for its historical value because it reminds of a Roman bath), wooden beams with a stone structure, among other treasures.
But, that too, using today the most modern systems to make the stay pleasant and comfortable: living room with fireplace and bar, reading room, dining room with good capacity and free Wi-Fi connection. They do not give food, but they do have breakfast and dinners programmed with groups, genuinely with quality products Extremadura.
“For now I have no need for a restaurant,” he says. Manuel Bustos, a native of Salamanca, owner and manager of the accommodation. “The reason is that our visitors come here with the idea of spending the whole day outside, visiting the region, enjoying the landscapes of the Valle del Ambroz, monuments and the gastronomy of the area.” This business has eight double rooms with bathroom and one suite. There are good prices.
“The life that goes around made me get here,” laughs Manuel. She is enchanted with her day to day in Baños and with how friendly and kind people are. It details that the building in 2000 and that it has been known to pamper and take care of its most interesting original elements.
During the stay he is in charge of informing his clients of the activities that can be done while leaving your home: “Not only in terms of visits, but in terms of activities, such as hiking and the most magical places to see.”
Now Manuel is confident that the pandemic will end and travelers from all over Spain and Europe can return, many of them attracted by the Camino de Santiago, since it passes right by the door of his house, a house that he hopes will very soon it will be filled with Norwegians, Dutch or Germans fascinated by this jewel of Baños.
