Extremadura

Spain

Extremadura, a region of western Spain, holds 240 connections with 6801 other places across 26 topics, spanning history, military conflict, sports, and language. Its strongest ties run toward Spain and Madrid, but many connections extend to Portugal, reflecting the region's western border and linguistic crossover: the Fala, a Galician-Portuguese language, is spoken in the valley of Jálama. A cluster of language connections also includes the endangered Extremaduran dialects. American researcher Alan Lomax made among the most influential ethnomusicological recordings of traditional Extremaduran music.
