The 150+ auxiliars placed in Extremadura gathered in Cáceres, a charming town of about 90,000 people in west central Spain, for orientation. The orientation itself wasn't very helpful, and our accommodations at a local high school were sketchy at best, but the town itself was stunning.
Cáceres is the epitome of Spain. The town's medieval core is a maze of narrow stone streets winding through Roman and Moorish buildings. Outside of old town, Cáceres becomes a modern city with large stores and two American must-haves: Burger King and McDonald's.
We only had a couple of hours to explore Cáceres, sadly. I'll surely be heading back sometime for a closer look, but I wanted to share some photos.
