    Set in Monfragüe National Park we find the small hamlet of Villarreal de San Carlos, in the province of Cáceres. It was established by Charles III to protect travellers from bandits on their way from Plasencia to Trujillo.

    In the centre of the small municipality we find the Church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro, which houses the image of the Virgin of La Merced, also called Perpetuo Socorro.
