- GRAND TOUR OF UNESCO SITES
The House of Scents
Discover Monfragüe’s 12 essential plants in an experience that travellers describe as pure, educational tranquillity. And don’t forget to visit the famous trompe-l’oeil paintings and the Casa del Tío Cáscoles eco-museum. That’ll make for a perfect day out.
Close your eyes and let your nose take the lead. It’s not your typical shop with display windows; it’s a taste of the Extremaduran countryside right in the heart of Romangordo. A living garden where the Mediterranean woodland He focuses so that you can understand it with all five senses.
You’ve got everything from the sacred magnetism of rosemary to that lemon balm which, just by smelling it, wipes the stress right out of you. Move from theory to touch, sight and smell in the interactive room. Here, the children enter their playground; there’s no lever or challenge they can’t master. There are no «do not touch» signs; This is the place to get a bit messy, crumple up some leaves and tantalise your nose with bottles of pure essences. Can you tell the difference between rockrose and lavender without looking? If so, go out into the garden and put what you’ve learnt into practice.
When you leave Romangordo, we guarantee you’ll look at the verges in a whole new light.
