It is also in the middle of the so-called "France-Portugal Avenue", that is the reason why Talavera has excellent communications.

In 181 B.C. was Known as Aebura, at that time Carpetans and Vettones were fighting against Romans, who were lead by Q. Fulvius Faccus- that is what Tito Livio has told us-. Later on when Mérida became the capital of Lusitania, Talavera was a place where the traveller, who wanted to go to Rome, could rest. Then our city was called Caesarobriga.
