Campomanes – Holiday Apartment, Cornalvo Nature and Roman Heritage

Campomanes and the Parque Natural de Cornalvo form the common thread of a journey between natural landscapes, routes and Roman heritage. The Presa Romana de Cornalvo is one of the most representative features of the Parque Natural de Cornalvo.

Nature

The Parque Natural de Cornalvo covers 11,601 hectares and includes, among other areas, the municipality of San Pedro de Mérida. Its southern boundary runs from the point where National Road V crosses the road from Don Benito to Campomanes, along this road to the Cortijo de Campomanes. For orientation, area, municipality and boundary line can be considered as different scales.

Routes

The Ruta Parque Natural de Cornalvo began at the esplanade next to the Cortijo de Campomanes. After a short section on the road, this route leads to the Presa Romana de Cornalvo. The Ruta Parque Natural de Cornalvo also included a long 26 km variant. The short road section and the long route variant can be considered separately for your own daily planning. The two route descriptions indicate different forms of route planning: the short road section describes access to the Roman dam, while the 26 km variant stands as a separate description of a long route. This keeps both details clearly distinct.

Culture

The Museo Circo Romano Corrida de Bigas is located in the vicinity of Campomanes. The Mueso Nacional de Arte Romano is also located nearby. The ancient site Mithraeum, Casa del Mitreo is likewise located in the vicinity of Campomanes. The Roman aqueduct San Lázaro is located in the vicinity of Campomanes and is listed as a historical site.

History

The Cortijo de Campomanes was a gift from the people of Mérida to the person who had been Minister of Finance under Charles III. A visit to the Embalse Romano de Cornalvo is intended to conclude with a walk through the cork oak and holm oak groves of the Parque Natural and a visit to the Cortijo de Campomanes.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Campomanes, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can be considered separately. Your own priorities – a short route, a long variant, Roman heritage or natural landscapes – remain identifiable as distinct topics. This places the accommodation details alongside the content selection without mixing up the destinations described.
