The Parador de Zafra is located in what was once the palace of the Dukes of Feria. The building clearly reflects its long and rich history, which includes the Extremaduran explorer Hernán Cortés, a distinguished guest of the palace. The Parador preserves beautiful coffered ceilings, chests, ironwork, handrails, and decorative elements from the former palace.

A visit is not possible because it is a hotel. The patio/inner courtyard, which is worth seeing, can be visited. And if you want to spend more time here, you can take a break in the café.

If you deviate slightly from the N630, near Santos de Maimona, next to the EX-101 road, a construction different from the rest emerges from the fields. It is the work of Don Francisco González Gragera, a retired bricklayer who more than 30 years ago began what today would be the fulfillment of a dream that he outlined years ago on paper. Cotrina's Whim.
