    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.

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.
