Historical milestone · Zarza de Granadilla, Trasierra-Tierras de Granadilla, Cáceres

Image of Zarza de Granadilla, not of the place itself.

In 1160 Fernando II reconquered the hamlet of Granada for the kingdom of León, which received town status in 1170; from 1446 the lordship belonged to the Dukes of Alba, and the Cañada Real Soriana Occidental (a royal droving route) passed through its municipal area, making La Zarza a resting stop for transhumant flocks.
