Extremadura is an autonomous community of western Spain. It includes
the provinces of Cáceres and Badajoz. Extremadura borders
Portugal to the west, and it is an important area for wildlife,
particularly with the major reserve at Monfragüe, which has
recently been recognised as a National Park, or the project of
International Tagus River Natural Park (Parque Natural Rio Tajo
internacional). To the north it borders Castille and León
(provinces of Salamanca and Ávila); to the south, it borders
Andalusia (provinces of Huelva, Seville, and Córboda); and to
the east, it borders Castille-La Mancha(provinces of Toledo and Ciudad
Real).
The climate of Extremadura is Mediterranean, except to the north, where
it is continentalized , and to the west, where the influence of
Atlantic makes the climate milder.
In general, it is characterized by its very hot and dry summers, with
great droughts, and its long and mild winters due to the oceanic
influence because of its proximity to the Atlantic coast of Portugal.
