Its a wonderful part of the country to visit, and its only a couple of hours' drive from Madrid. And there is one part of the region that is especially famous - particularly for two weeks a year in spring. And thats the Jerte Valley (Valle del Jerte in Spanish). Its a magical little valley where for two weeks a year the regions cherry blossoms come into bloom. And the entire valley is blanketed in gorgeous white cherry blossoms. You can walk amongst them, even picnic beneath them. In fact, many of the cherry orchards that line the hillside leave their gates open so you can explore freely. So thats what we did!If you ever want to visit this region, here are the things I would recommend:- The cherry blossoms flower around late March and early April. The dates change a little each yet, depending on the weather - so its a little hard to predict if youre planning a trip (and places do book out). But if you check out this page (in Spanish) http://www.turismovalledeljerte.com/cerezo-en-flor They flower for approximately 2 weeks, so youve generally got 2 weekends in there during which you can visit. If you can visit during the week, there will be fewer people- I suggest staying at Cabezuela del Valle. Its a nice little town and has some good options for eating and drink. Its also very central within the valley. Try the little riverside restaurant called El Vao. Also, for a big slap up Spanish meal, check out El Castillo (a brief drive from Cabezuela del Valle)- Make sure you rent a car - you need a card to move around the area- Take a picnic to have a picnic beneath the cherry trees! The spot where we picnicked was a brief walk out of a town called Valdastillas. Simply keep walking until you find a cherry orchard on the side of the road that looks nice and hard in - people dont seem to mind people exploring their orchards.- The waterfall we visited is called Cascada del Caozo - and its a brief drive up the hill from Valdastillas - and its worth it!And that article about Spanish coffee: http://www.madridchow.com/the-curious-case-of-spanish-coffee-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-drinking-cafe-torrefacto/WHO ARE WE?
