Description

We will start at our office located at number 32b of Jose Ramón Mélida street, and then we will head towards the Puerta de la Villa. We will walk along the main road of the Roman Merida, the Decumanus Maximus, and we will arrive at the Calatrava Market, originally from the 19th century.

Afterwards, we will enter the Parador Nacional de Turismo Vía de La Plata, a former 18th century convent where we will take a walk through history through Roman, Arab and Christian pieces... Next stop? The Arch of Trajan, so called because of a confusion. Next, we will contemplate the Convent of Santa Clara and the Co-cathedral of Santa María la Mayor, in both we will discover its Visigothic past. If Merida is characterized by something, it is for treasuring vestiges of all periods.

We will distinguish the Renaissance in the Casa de los Pacheco and a wonderful eclectic architecture in the Palacio de la China. We will end the tour in one of the most magical corners of the city: the Temple of Diana.

SENCILLO PERO INTERESANTE

Nuestra guía Alicia un 10, hice la reserva de último minuto y aún con la confusión me recibió y atendió con una sonrisa. Toda la información dada por Alicia mientras paseábamos por la ciudad fue completa y muy interesante, la recomiendo.
