This was my foodie visit to see the Pimento region of Spain. Jaraiz de La Vera being a few km off the main highway we choose this place based on an aerial survey via GEarth and previous reports on TA. We were not disappointed. The main house is typically finca (small farm) in style and decor, has a small reception that doubles as a bar, a large comfy lounge and dining area alongside. Our room was very clean with a very comfortable bed and excellent pillows, no tea/coffee facility but the bar always always open downstairs. Breakfasts were a delight, everything fresh including a large bowl of cherries (each !!). For dinner we choose the grilled pork dish of two different cuts, secreto and rib, along with regional salad, roasted peppers and a doce wine from the chiller. wow what a feast! We would return just for that dinner. Oh there is also a pool, a tennis court, ample free parking, and I was told I could walk anywhere I wished. Wildlife, swallows roosted just outside our bedroom window, Hoopoe woke us each morning and I counted 11 butterfly species. A lovely and very restful break during our tour and highly recommended.
