Membrío is located 66 kilometers away from the town of Cáceres, and within 30 kilometers of the Portuguese border.
Every August 15, Membrío celebrates a holiday known as Our Lady of Grace, dedicated to Saint Mary. During the holiday, Membrío's population spikes, since emigrants from the village and their families return for a few days. Other notable membrillero festivities are the Carnival and Easter, when, following the southern Spanish tradition, the baroque church icons are taken into the streets.
