La Vera, Rural region in Extremadura, Spain
La Vera extends across 888 square kilometers along the Tiétar River valley at the base of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range.
Emperor Charles V selected the Monastery of Yuste in La Vera as his final residence, spending his last days in this region during the 16th century.
The region maintains its medieval architecture with houses constructed from adobe, stone, and wood, featuring water channels running through the streets.
La Vera produces Pimentón, a specific type of paprika that carries the Protected Denomination of Origin certification for its quality and production methods.
During Holy Week in Valverde de la Vera, participants called empalaos carry wooden plough beams tied to their bodies in a silent nocturnal procession.
