Trujillo

A Great Plaza Beneath a Castle

Town Overview

Life in Trujillo

A broad plaza opens beneath the castle, with stone palaces and the dehesa landscape all around. Trujillo gives a second-home search a powerful sense of place in inland Spain.

The Appeal

Trujillo is lived in, not just visited: stone palaces around the plaza, and the dehesa running out toward Monfragüe National Park.

Why It Made the Shortlist

Trujillo makes the list for its sense of place: one of the great plazas of inland Spain, in a town small enough to call home.

Worth Knowing

Worth weighing carefully:

  • Heat: extreme summer heat, plus cooling and water resilience
  • Fire and roads: wildfire season and road dependence
  • Access and care: steep upper-town streets, and referral for complex healthcare
