About
Extremadura Digital Day is the largest technology event in Extremadura, held in Cáceres as a single-day conference bringing together the autonomous community's technology professionals, students, companies and developer groups. Extremadura sits away from Spain's principal technology centres in Madrid and Barcelona, and the conference exists in large part to give the region's technology community a gathering of its own. The 2026 edition expects more than 400 attendees, drawing working professionals and students from across the region and neighbouring provinces. Programming is deliberately broad, spanning software development, the Internet of Things, business and digital transformation, design and user experience, and emerging areas including artificial intelligence and blockchain. That range suits an audience that is regional rather than specialist, and encourages cross-disciplinary conversation that narrower conferences discourage. Organisers cover speaker meals, transport, lodging and a speaker dinner, which broadens the pool of presenters willing to travel to a smaller Spanish city. For technologists in western Spain, Extremadura Digital Day is the region's principal annual technology conference and community meeting point.

Planning your trip to Caceres
Contains sponsored linksExtremadura Digital Day puts a developer conference inside a UNESCO-listed walled town in early October, when Cáceres has shed the ferocious summer heat and settles into warm days and genuinely cool nights. The Ciudad Monumental is a few minutes' walk from the modern quarter where attendees stay, and its storks, towers and stone lanes are essentially unchanged since the sixteenth century. Extremadura is one of Spain's least-visited regions, which is part of the appeal.
Getting there & around
Cáceres has no meaningful commercial airport of its own. Most delegates fly into Madrid-Barajas (MAD) and take the train or drive west, roughly three to four hours; Seville (SVQ) and Lisbon are comparable alternatives from the south and west. Badajoz (BJZ) is closest but has very limited service. The town centre is small enough to cross on foot, so a hire car is only worth it for exploring the wider region.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Coverage in Cáceres itself is solid, but signal gets patchy on the rural roads through Extremadura if you drive out to the dehesa or Mérida. A prepaid eSIM avoids roaming charges and keeps navigation working between towns. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Ciudad Monumental. The walled old town is the reason to come: Almohad towers, palace facades and almost no modern intrusion. Walk it twice, once in daylight and once after dark when the stone is lit and the streets empty. Two hours covers the main circuit comfortably.
Torre de Bujaco. The twelfth-century tower on Plaza Mayor gives the best overview of the rooftops and the storks that nest on them. The climb is short, tickets are inexpensive, and late afternoon light is the payoff. Combine it with a drink on the square below.
Museo de Cáceres. Housed in a Renaissance mansion built over a preserved twelfth-century Almohad cistern, which is the real draw — a vaulted underground water chamber still holding water. Allow an hour. It is a short walk uphill from the Plaza Mayor.
Mérida Roman ruins. An hour south by road or rail lies one of the best-preserved Roman theatre and amphitheatre complexes anywhere. It justifies a full day either side of the conference. Book the combined monument ticket and start early to beat the afternoon sun. Tickets on Tiqets →
Good to know
What is the nearest practical airport?
Madrid-Barajas (MAD) is the usual choice, roughly three to four hours away by train or car. Badajoz is closer but has very few flights.
What should I pack for early October?
Warm, dry days in the mid-20s Celsius with cool evenings. Bring a light jacket and shoes that handle cobblestones.
Is Spanish essential?
English is less widely spoken here than in Madrid or Barcelona. A few phrases of Spanish go a long way in restaurants and taxis.
