Now follow C/ Oviedo until it becomes Graciano, where you enter the Alcazaba (Moorish Fortress and Convent). The Alcazaba dates to the ninth century and was built next to the Romans’ bridge over the Guadiana, no doubt as a way of insuring the security of the town from intruders. Notice the aljibe, or cistern, and in the corner the 15th- century Conventural, or convent. Stroll across the Guadiana River on a very, very old bridge, hang a left on C/ Cava and head down to the water.
