    I live here in Spain and we are driving to friends in Portugal in the autumn. I will definitely look into a stay over in Merida! There is a lot of restored Roman architecture, I live in a small village, Rojales, and we have a Roman bridge, it’s absolutely lovely. When they restored it recently, they found further buildings, so no work could be done for a year while the archaeologists dug. I love how Spain keeps the old buildings and looks after them. Enjoy the rest of your trip, looking forward to where you go next.

    Well,I've watched enough you tube by now to recognise some excellent filming AND editing. Thank you for showing me this place where I'll never go. Yes,those roman ruins had me a bit staggered like you say,the roman remains we are used to are much humbler in scale. My heart sank to see it was a vegetarian place,oh no,but I was reassured. Actually I do enjoy veggie food and eat very little meat,from choice,and budget but I do love cheese,fish and other dairy despite awareness of issues....but I'll stop now,just vegetarians and vegans tend to be very SINCERE.
