Caminomorisco: A Heartfelt Journey Through Time

Nestled in the picturesque region of Las Hurdes, Caminomorisco, known locally as Caminomoriscu, boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture. With a modest population of 1,292 residents, affectionately referred to as morisqueños, this charming municipality in the province of Cáceres is a testament to resilience.

The history of Caminomorisco dates back to its days as Las Calabazas, evolving into its present identity in the early 20th century. Despite the heart-wrenching depopulation that has affected its smaller alquerías, such as Arrocartintero and Arrocerezo, the spirit of the town endures. Numerous photografías antiguas de Caminomorisco reveal a past rich with archaeological wonders, including ancient Iberian petroglyphs and remnants from Roman times.

Nearby towns like Vegas de Coria, La Dehesilla, and Casares de las Hurdes enrich this historical tapestry. As you explore, don’t forget to visit Ladrillar and Sotoserrano.
