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.
Extremadura Digital Day 2026 takes place October 3, 2026 in Cáceres, Spain.
Extremadura Digital Day 2026 is an in-person event.
Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Early October is arguably the best moment to visit Cáceres: the fierce Extremaduran summer has broken, daytime temperatures settle pleasantly, and the UNESCO-listed old town empties of peak-season visitors. The conference draws a regional audience to a city whose historic quarter is a near-intact medieval and Renaissance ensemble, small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and almost entirely free of traffic within its walls.
Cáceres has no airport of its own. Most international visitors fly into Madrid (MAD) and continue roughly three to four hours by train or road, or into Seville (SVQ) to the south. Badajoz (BJZ) is closer but has very limited service. Spanish rail connects Cáceres to Madrid several times daily. Once there, the city is comfortably walkable and a car is unnecessary.

Spanish mobile networks cover Cáceres and the surrounding province reliably, including inside the old town's stone streets. An eSIM arranged before travel is the simplest way to have data working on arrival, particularly if you are connecting through Madrid. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Ciudad Monumental. The walled old town is the reason to come: cobbled lanes, fortified towers and Renaissance palaces with almost no modern intrusion. It is best experienced without a plan, ideally in the early evening when the stone warms in colour. Allow two hours to wander properly.
Museo de Cáceres. Housed partly in a Renaissance mansion, the museum's highlight is an eleventh-century Almohad cistern preserved beneath the building, its horseshoe arches reflected in standing water. Collections cover regional archaeology and fine art. Around an hour is sufficient.
Torre de Bujaco. This twelfth-century tower on the Plaza Mayor can be climbed for the clearest overview of the old town's rooftops and towers. The climb is short, and the plaza below is where the city gathers in the evening — the natural place to end a walk.
Trujillo day trip. Forty-five minutes east lies a smaller walled town with a dramatic castle and a grand plaza built on conquistador wealth. It pairs naturally with Cáceres and needs half a day by car or regional bus, making it a practical addition either side of the conference.
Which airport should I use for Cáceres?
Madrid (MAD) offers the widest choice of flights and connects onward by train or road in about three to four hours. Seville (SVQ) is a reasonable alternative from the south.
Do I need a car?
Not for the city itself, which is easily walkable. A car helps considerably if you plan to visit Trujillo, Mérida or the surrounding Extremaduran countryside.
What is the weather like in early October?
Warm and generally dry, with comfortable daytime temperatures after the summer heat has passed. Evenings cool noticeably, so bring a light jacket.
