About El Real de la Jara

El Real de la Jara is a small village near the border of Andalusia and Extremadura, with a ruined medieval castle overlooking the surrounding countryside. The village has an albergue, cafes, and basic services.

The landscape transitions here from the Andalusian sierra to the more open terrain of Extremadura. The village is quiet and traditional.

El Real de la Jara provides a stopping point between the longer stages of this section, where distances between towns can be considerable.
