Abstract Slavery was practiced by the different towns that occupied the Peninsula since antiquity, but the existence of population brought from Africa and sold in the different towns of Extremadura close to the Portuguese border, is a fact that has been investigated more recently. Despite these valuable investigations and others on slavery in Spain, few initiatives have been carried out at an institutional level to recover historical memory and tangible and intangible heritage that may be related to slavery. The objective of this work is to identify this heritage and contribute to creating a slavery route in Extremadura. For this, a qualitative methodology based on the review of secondary sources has been used, taking into account the populations of Extremadura where there were more slaves in the 16th and 17th centuries. The result is a proposal for a tourist-cultural route that can contribute to enhancing the heritage related to these events and promoting cultural tourism in the region.
