Almendralejo, located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, is a city with a rich historical, cultural, and agricultural heritage. Founded after the Reconquista, around the 13th century, by the Order of Santiago. Its name comes from the almond trees that once covered the original site. By the 16th century, it already had a well-established urban structure. In 1513, it received its charter of privileges, which spurred its development.

The Torremejía Way is a stage of the Camino de la Plata, also known as the Silver Route, which joins the Mozarabic Way in Mérida. The stage from Torremejía to Mérida is relatively short, about 15.3 km. This section is known for its rural landscapes and the tranquility it offers pilgrims.

With the Palacio de Lastra as one of the most important elements of the center and where the Camino de Santiago runs through it, heading south. There is always an area to grab something or find some shade.

From Torremejía and which comes from the city of Mérida, the Camino de Santiago appears that goes in a southerly direction, towards Villafranca de los Barros. Surrounded by agricultural fields and large esplanades.

On the east side of Almendralejo, near the train station, you reach the impressive Plaza de Toros and Parque de la Piedad and the monumental Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Piedad. A great meeting point before the start of the adventure or a place to rest at the end.

Walking through the Aceuchal area, don't miss the imposing San Pedro Apóstol Parish with its tall bell tower. It is a good place in the center of town to stop to rest or have something to eat or drink.
