Village
Almoharín is a municipality located in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. According to the 2018 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 1,838 inhabitants.
The village's economy is primarily agricultural, with many inhabitants having fincas of olives and figs. Almoharin is known as the 'Fig Capital of the World' on account of these figs, which are green and smooth-textured. Both dried figs and chocolate figs are exported worldwide. The village also has a cheese-making workshop where visitors can make their own cheese - after milking the sheep. There is an accompanying exhibition of the history of sheep and cheese-making in the area.
Almoharin has a 16th-century church, and a traditional plaza. The Roman bridge, just outside the village, is the oldest architectural remains in the area.

What people eat in Extremadura when they eat well.
From pigs raised in the dehesa pastures; the Extremaduran larder starts here.
Creamy sheep's cheese eaten with a spoon, with the rind as a lid.
Bread, paprika and pork crackling: a shepherds' breakfast that is now a Sunday dish.
Smoked over holm-oak wood; it gives colour and soul to half of Spanish cooking.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Almoharín's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
