In the first week of October 09, I had the wedding of a good friend in Galicia, but I took a couple of days off to visit my high school friends M. and C. in Extremadura. I went with M. to Merida, and I was surprised to learn it was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire. You can find the Roman remains everywhere, but one of my favorite spots was the Roman Theater. I felt like I was in Rome again. Amazing!
