Among olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees, old, restored Lagares have been preserved in Pago de San Clemente. The cultural landscape combines natural and historical features. Other attractions include the Sierra de los Lagares route, birdwatching and the patron saint’s festival in honour of San Juan Bautista. These offer different reasons to plan your trip: a specific route, observing nature in combination with hiking, or a festival held on an annual date.

Lagares and the cultural landscape

The numerous Lagares in the Sierra de los Lagares point to significant wine production in the area. In Pago de San Clemente, old, restored Lagares have been preserved among olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees. Historical traces of wine production thus sit alongside a landscape shaped by cultivated land. Those interested in the relationship between agriculture and landscape will find a different focus here than in nature observation alone. When exploring, bear in mind that access to some plots may be private. Check the access conditions before entering a plot.

The Sierra de los Lagares circular route

The Sierra de los Lagares route is 33.26 kilometres long and follows a circular route. It can be used by bicycle, on foot or on horseback. The stated distance gives the route a clearly defined length; the three modes of travel listed offer different ways to experience it. The route heads towards Pago de San Clemente; the Pago lies a little further beyond. Check the current trail markings and route conditions before setting out. Also be aware of possible restrictions on private land.

Birdwatching and hiking

Birding Extremadura has a location in Pago San Clemente (Trujillo) and offers various birdwatching routes. With this provider, birdwatching and experiencing nature can be combined with hiking. The two options therefore have different focuses: the Sierra de los Lagares is a circular route with a stated total distance and three ways to explore it; Birding Extremadura focuses on birdwatching combined with hiking. If you are choosing between the two, consider whether you would prefer a clearly defined route or nature observation as your main focus.

Parish and patron saint’s festival

Pago de San Clemente has a parish church dedicated to San Juan Bautista. The patron saint’s festival in honour of the patron is held every year on 24 June; residents gather to honour him. For 2026, San Juan Bautista Church and the square in Pago de San Clemente are listed as the venues. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the latest dates, venues and programme for a future edition. This lets you use the annual date as a planning reference without assuming unverified details about future celebrations.
