Roman Theatre of Merida

Reviewed By NeriI - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

One of the best preserved roman ruin in Europe. Unmissable. See it together with the ampitheatre next door and be sure to read the notices which explain very well the djfferent gladiators who fought there.

A well preserved view into Roman history and the life of a gladiator. The site is well worth a visit.

Ciudad de Zafra

Reviewed By steverI6121WP

Unlike some reviewers who preferred Merida, I thought Zafra to be much nicer. For a small town it has a lot going on...lots of independent shops, nice restaurants, friendly bars (some with actual character, not brightly-lit and clinical) and some pretty grand architecture. In particular many homes and public buildings had grand art nouveau and arts-and-crafts touches, such as ornate railings. You can drive without getting in a panic (unlike Seville, Cordoba, Caceres etc.). Its inhabitants seem pleasant and reasonably affluent, and it showed a higher level of civic pride than most places we saw. We stayed 2 nights at the parador.

Plaza Alta

Reviewed By IndaNunez - Madrid, Spain

We have visited Badajoz during "Semana Santa" holidays. The Plaza Alta has a sense of layers of history. You have no idea walking up the streets of Badajoz that you are entering this square. The restaurants and cafes in the plaza are amazing so you have the opportunity of having drinks or coffee and enjoy some typical tapas
