Discovering Almaraz: A Journey Through Time

Almaraz, a picturesque town nestled in Cáceres Province, Extremadura, offers a rich tapestry of history and cultural significance. This remarkable location, with a current population of 1,295, is famously home to the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant and is witnessing the dawn of a new era with a large solar power plant in development. But beyond modernity lies a past filled with epic tales.

Among its treasures, the ancient bridge over the Tagus, constructed by Emperor Carlos I in the 16th century, stands out. Locals affectionately refer to it as the Albalat Bridge. Although it was tragically destroyed during the Peninsular War, its legacy persists, reminding us of the courageous spirit of those who fought for freedom.
