Extremadurans (Spanish: extremeños, Extremaduran: estremeñus, Portuguese: estremenhos) are an ethnic group living in Extremadura,in the south-west of Spain. Extremadura has historically been, and still is, the poorest part of Spain, although the gap between Extremadura and other places in Spain has been reduced. Its landscape (and the landscape of the surrounding territories) is dominated by the dehesa, a kind of man-made pastureland wooded with sparse cork trees and holm oaks, used for the grazing of livestock.
