Nestled in the north of Cáceres, a small village near Plasencia showcases a vibrant agricultural landscape, nourished by the Alagón River. Here, farming remains vital to the local economy, with red peppers, the key ingredient in the renowned “pimentón de la Vera,” taking center stage. These peppers are carefully dried and smoked to develop their unique flavor, essential to traditional gastronomy. Additionally, tobacco farming is prevalent in areas like Riolobos, providing significant employment opportunities for the population, reflecting the region's agricultural richness.
