None of these are tiny:
Zamora: I haven't been there, but it has been mentioned positively on this forum by at least one traveler.
Salamanca: The largest of the places I'm listing. Beautiful university city, but perhaps not what you're looking for in this situation.
Plasencia: Attractive-enough historic area. I just used it as an overnight stop while traveling by bus or train.
Caceres: Very evocative, nearly pure-medieval historic area surrounded by a modern town/city. Has a sort of back-of-beyond feeling. Of the places I list, this might be the best bet for you, but I'm not sure about how close you'd be able to park to the historic area.
Merida: Feels more modern than Caceres but has some Roman ruins and quite a good museum.
I'm sorry that I haven't been to any small towns along that route.
