Cáceres Province, Administrative province in western Extremadura, Spain

The Tagus River flows through Cáceres Province, dividing the territory between mountainous regions in the north and south with fertile plains in between.

The province of Cáceres was officially established in 1833, following its conquest from Moorish control by Alfonso IX in 1229 and integration into the Kingdom of León.

The province maintains long-standing traditions of sheep grazing along the Tagus River during winter months, supporting local farming communities across multiple generations.

The Gabriel y Galán dam on the Alagón River supplies hydroelectric power and irrigation to the region, supporting agricultural production of cereals, tobacco, and vegetables.

Valle del Jerte, within the province borders, produces substantial quantities of cherries, while dense forests of evergreen, oak, and cork trees cover unexploited areas.
