Membrío (pronounced as /es/) is a municipality located in the province of Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain. According to the 2023 census, the municipality had a population of 589.[1]

Membrío is located approximately 67 kilometers away from the town of Cáceres, and about 40 kilometers from 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 temporarily spikes as a result of the influx of visitors, primarily returning emigrants and their families. Other notable membrillero festivities are the Carnival and Easter, when, following the southern Spanish tradition, the baroque church icons are taken into the streets.
