Almendralejo, located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, is a city with a rich historical, cultural, and agricultural heritage. Founded after the Reconquista, around the 13th century, by the Order of Santiago. Its name comes from the almond trees that once covered the original site. By the 16th century, it already had a well-established urban structure. In 1513, it received its charter of privileges, which spurred its development.

This small town for many years was nothing more than a few families living in the area. However, it began to grow in the 1850s and had more than 1,700 residents by 1920. Currently, there are a little more than 1,200 residents who work mainly in the area's agriculture, which is grapes and olive trees. This means that the area around the town is full of fields and trails that are nice to explore.

Fast gravel trails between Torremejía and Almendralejo following the Alange basin in Badajoz. Bring a face covering to keep out dust if you are traveling in a group.
