Valdelacalzada – Local History, Blossom and Holiday Apartments

Valdelacalzada was founded in 1948 as the first colonisation village of the Badajoz Plan. Its precise historical classification alone makes the town a destination whose character can be understood through its origins and visible features. For you, this creates an interplay between local history, architecture, nature-related themes and different ways of experiencing the surrounding area.

Culture

The Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia, designed by Borobio Ojeda, stands at one end of a U-shaped square and serves as an urban landmark. The Poblado de colonización de Valdelacalzada can be viewed from the public road. This means that two different perspectives come together during a walk: a single defining building and an appreciation of the settlement from public space. This combination is suitable for a quiet approach to the character of Valdelacalzada without limiting the visit to just one sight.

Nature

“Valdelacalzada en Flor” places the town’s fruit-tree blossom at the centre of attention every spring. On 17 June 2026, it was announced that the Extremadura Tourism Council had given the green light to declaring “Valdelacalzada en Flor” a festival of regional tourist interest. The reference to spring and the dated announcement describe two different levels: the recurring seasonal focus and the status at that time of the sought-after regional recognition.

The Centro de Interpretación Floral Casa La Flora is a nature interpretation centre in Valdelacalzada. At Casa La Flora, a sensory tour illustrates the cycle of a fruit tree through all four seasons. Casa La Flora is located at Plaza de España 8 in Valdelacalzada. For your planning, a specific location, a nature centre and a tour with a year-round focus can be considered separately here.

Things to Do

“Valdelacalzada en Flor” includes hiking trails in its visitor programme. The “Caminando entre flores” route held in 2026 was 14 km long and started in the town square. Also in 2026, the XV Media Maratón and the IX 10K were announced in Valdelacalzada; these were the 15th and 9th editions respectively. The formats mentioned differ in terms of activity, distance and event character. You can compare these details for your own time planning and distinguish between a hiking trail, a 14 km route and the two running events without having to treat them as a single programme.

The connection between blossom, stone-fruit cultivation and exercise also remains clearly structured in Valdelacalzada. Casa La Flora offers various ways to visit that focus on the world of stone-fruit cultivation. Nature interpretation and the agricultural theme therefore stand alongside the trails and races as independent reasons to visit.

When selecting a holiday apartment in Valdelacalzada, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective listing page.
