The highest mountains in the northern Cáceres are snow covered in wintertime.  The landscape is similar in many ways to the American Southwest (New Mexico) with long vistas and mountains.</div> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=34 BGCOLOR="#333333" TEXT="#F7F7FF" bgproperties="fixed" background="196dcde1ddualp.gif"> <div> <A HREF="id306.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Our City"><U><B><IMG SRC="13b16180.gif" border=0 width="22" height="24" ALT="previous" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B> </B><A HREF="id24.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Our Region Extremadura"><U><B><IMG SRC="13a16180.gif" border=0 width="22" height="24" ALT="next" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id15.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Where we live"><U><B><IMG SRC="13916180.gif" border=0 width="22" height="24" ALT="up" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B> </B><A HREF="id246.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Cáceres Province"><U><B><IMG SRC="13c16180.gif" border=0 width="22" height="24" ALT="down" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
