Larry Shy is an American who lives in Michigan and who, in recent years, has become very popular in Spain after starting to share his fascination with our culture and our way of life on the networks.
Despite the distance, … He does not hesitate to visit our country every time he is on vacation and usually flies to Madrid to make short getaways and discover new places. On one of his last visits, he went to Zafra, a small town in Extremadura that he described as one of the “most authentic and Extremaduran” places he knows.
At the start of the video, Larry appears in full Chica de Zafra Square, one of the most emblematic spaces in the town. “It’s a beautiful little town, with amazing balconies everywhere, all different. It’s really very pretty,” he said.
In addition, he also pays attention to the cobblestone streets, one of his favorite elements when traveling through Spanish cities. “You know how much I love cobbled streets. Look at the beautiful designs on the floor. “It’s very Spanish, very Extremadura,” he says before mentioning the traditional arches and doorways. Visibly impressed, he closes the video with enthusiasm. “I’m very excited to be here. Long live Zafra! Long live Extremadura! Long live Spain!
What is it like and what can you see in Zafra?
Zafra is a municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, known as “Seville the girl” for its urban charm and traditional architecture. It has been declared a historic and artistic site and retains a well-maintained old town that attracts thousands of tourists every year.
The heart of Zafra is made up of Plaza Grande and especially Plaza Chica, which Larry admits to falling in love with in his video. It is the oldest and comes from the medieval center, while the other, a little more recent, is a meeting point with bars, shops and terraces.
Zafra
Among the most notable places to visit are the Alcázar or Palacio de los Duques de Feria, a 15th-century building that today houses a Parador de Turismo, and other points of interest such as the Casa del Ajimez, the Puerta de Jerez or the Museum of the Convent of Santa Clara.
