Badajoz Province: Spain's Border Gateway to Portugal
Badajoz province stretches across southern Extremadura, sharing a long border with Portugal's Alentejo region. About 670,000 people live within the province, with the capital city Badajoz holding approximately 150,000 residents. Located just six kilometres from the Portuguese border, Badajoz has historically served as a crossing point between the two Iberian nations and maintains strong cross-border economic ties. The city's Alcazaba, one of the largest Moorish fortifications in Spain, overlooks the Guadiana River.
Merida, the second major city with around 60,000 residents, serves as the capital of the Extremadura autonomous community and preserves an extraordinary collection of Roman ruins, including a theatre, amphitheatre, and bridge, that earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. Don Benito and Villanueva de la Serena, twin towns in the east of the province, together account for roughly 100,000 people and form a growing commercial centre. Agriculture dominates the wider economy: the Vegas del Guadiana produce rice, tomatoes, and stone fruit, while the dehesa landscape supports Iberian pig farming for jamon iberico. The escort market in Badajoz province is small, with most activity in the capital and Merida. Cross-border movement with Portugal adds a dimension not found in most inland provinces.
