Tagido · Public domainMountain village
Táliga (Spanish) or Talega (Portuguese) is a Spanish town and municipality located near the border with Portugal, in the province of Badajoz, in the Spanish autonomous community of Extremadura. Portugal considers Táliga, as well as neighbouring Olivenza, a de jure part of the Portuguese concelho of Olivenza, occupied by Spain since 1801.
Under Portuguese administration, Talega was a freguesia (parish) of the concelho (municipality) of Olivenza. It became an independent municipality in 1850, already under Spanish administration.
Currently the municipality of Talega is a disputed area between Spain and Portugal.

Serious winter at this altitude: snow likely and chains in the car. Check the state of the roads before heading up.
