Esparragalejo is a municipality of Spain in the province of Badajoz, autonomous region of Extremadura.
Located about 13 km from Mérida, it is known for its unique Roman multiple arch buttress dam, the Esparragalejo Dam, its two natural lagoons, and its religious festivals. During the festivities to honor the town's patron saint, the Virgin of Good Health (Virgen de la Salud), its inhabitants come to the cathedral to witness the one-hour Mass and then occupy the streets completely. The townspeople take to the streets to put on a procession, to play music, and to put on shows for the town's children.

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 Esparragalejo's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
