Tourism

Hoyos is a hidden gem in one of Spain's least known tourist destinations.[tone] The province of Caceres was the location chosen to film several sequences from the Game of Thrones series.[citation needed] Hoyos itself has a romanesque church and stone houses. In recent years, it has developed a tourism industry thanks to a number of licensed rural hotels such as Jardin de la Sierra de Gata.[3]
