Roman ruins in Merida

Whereas Andalucia has taken off as a tourist destination,
Extremadura to its north-west is much lesser known yet it has so
much to offer. Merida has more Roman remains than anywhere in Spain
whilst neighbouring Caceres and Trujillo owe their legacy to the
discovery of the Americas when local men joined Francisco Pizarro
on his epic voyage. Nearby Monfrague National Park is a nature
lover's paradise.
