Talayuela (Spanish: [talaˈʝwela] ⓘ) is a municipality located in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, (Spain).

Talayuela's name comes from "atalayuela", related to the Spanish (Arab origin) word "Atalaya", which means "watch tower".

Talayuela also has a number of important ponds, which are used by local animals and migrant birds as a refuge and provisioning base.

The population has been growing due to immigrants looking for a better job, so nowadays Talayuela holds people from 22 countries.

Talayuela's economy is mainly based on tobacco growing, but in the last years it started to decline as the European Union grants disappeared.
