Holiday apartment in Trujillanos: nature, the Camino Mozárabe and history

Those who discover Trujillanos will come across the Embalse de Cornalvo reservoir: the body of water is approximately 4 km long and lies on the Albarregas River. The Embalse de Cornalvo is associated with a nature park and a Special Protection Area for birds covering 10,740 hectares. The length of the body of water and the size of the protected area offer two different scales for planning your own trip.

Nature and history

This setting also includes a significant structure: the Roman dam of the Embalse de Cornalvo was declared a national monument in 1912. The Centro de Interpretación del Parque Natural de Cornalvo is located in the Dehesa de Boyal de Trujillanos between the Aljucén and Albarregas rivers. The natural environment, protection status and Roman traces therefore stand alongside one another as separate topics.

Routes and orientation

On stage ES10b-09a of the Camino Mozárabe, the route leads from Trujillanos 8 km to Mérida. The Camino Mozárabe stage description lists grocery shops, a bakery, a butcher's shop, food options, an ATM or bank, a traditional hostel and a pharmacy for Trujillanos. The route length and the types of facilities mentioned place different emphases on planning the day, without requiring the topics to be combined into a fixed itinerary.

Culture and buildings

The ensemble comprising a mill façade and the Ermita de San Pedro Apóstol includes a mill façade and a chapel within the enclosed grounds. From the outside, only the mill's entrance portal, the chapel façade and its dome are visible. The Iglesia Parroquial Santa Trinidad in Trujillanos dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries and was later remodelled. It has a single-nave layout and a presbytery covered by a ribbed cross vault.
