The Inns at Extremadura started, in March 2025, a menu offering featured products that are 100% from this region. The dishes are made with ingredients that are PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), meaning that they are tied to unique origins and geographical locations. These are two seals that distinguish quality and sustainable production.
The program was designed and being implemented by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth, and Sports of the Regional Government of Extremadura, who partnered with the Association of Regulatory Councils of Extremadura (ACREX). The general objective is to strengthen the region’s position as a gastronomic destination. And they are capitalizing on the quality of local products with their own regional identity. This is a fitting project for a region that is proud of nearly twenty food products on the PDO and PGI lists.A
A menu which is one hundred percent from Extremadura
The first course of the new menu offered by the “Hospederias de Extremadura” is a selection of local cheeses paired with homemade jams and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is followed by Beef Rib- Steak with a sauce made from a “Guadiana” red wine reduction, accompanied with creamed roasted garlic potatoes and boletus mushrooms. The feast ends with a dessert of fried flowers and Jam from cherries of the Jerte Valley and Villuercas-Ibores Honey.

Eight four-star inns
The “Red de Hospederías de Extremadura” (Extremadura Inna) are comprised of eight unique or historic buildings that hold a four-star status.
The first to open, in 1999, were those in the Jerte Valley, located at an old mill in the town of Jerte, and the one at Monfragüe National Park, in Torrejón el Rubio, the largest of all inns. These are followed by those in the Ambroz Valley in Hervás, with its spectacular cloister; Alconétar Bridge in Garrovillas de Alconétar, located in its famous Porticoed Plaza, a Historic-Artistic Monument of National Interest; the Alcántara Convent in Alcántara, which preserves ancient mechanical devices; the Sierra de Gata Convent in San Martín de Trevejo, with its dining room located in what was the chapel of the 15th-century San Miguel Convent; Hurdes Reales in Las Mestas, which occupies Alfonso XIII’s factory from 1922; and the Mirador de Llerena, the only one in the province of Badajoz, distinguished by a fantastic colored glass dome.
