There are lots of wonderful places in things to see in Zafra. There are a few large parks in which to sit and enjoy the sun.
There's a large courtyard square near the castle, the Plaza Grande which is lined with arches. Under the arches are small cafes and bars.
Another square is Plaza Chica, a former market place. You will find some great tapas bars here. |
