Cabeza la Vaca is a municipality located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain. The economy is based on agriculture. The surroundings have thousands of evergreen oaks, olive trees, pine trees and leafy scrubland. The economy is based on agriculture, with breeding of pigs, and also goats and sheep, predominating. Pork and pork products such as red sausage, black pudding black and eggs and green ham, cheeses, and vegetable preserves are produced. Chestnuts, acorns, and cork are also produced. In the Iron Age, this region, like all of Extremadura south where is found Cabeza la Vaca, was inhabited by Celtic people known as the Celtici, but on the border with the Turduli and Turdetanian (tartessian derived) in the south east. Throughout the second century B.C, the Roman conquest and settlement in the south of Extremadura displaced the Celtic languages around this zone. It is possible the region which nowadays is Cabeza la Vaca may enjoy a period of prosperity as the Roman road Ruta de Plata vía (Silver way in English) is close up connecting the south and north of the Iberian Peninsula. Roman coins have been found around Cabeza la Vaca by farmers when plowing the ground. Rome maintained control through to the 5th century. The end of the Roman rule enabled the Visigothic period. In other parts of the peninsula, this first domain meant a stagnation stage; nevertheless judging by the number of scripts and remains found around the zone and in the same village (reused elements on fountains or columns), this epoch was important for those lands.
