SP18 - Day 3.2
The idea was to head to Mèrida slowly and check in early enough to have some lunch and maybe a walk.
Then Claire saw a place en-route has a huge tomato on a pole. So we set TomTom for that area.
I used the My Drive app to get there and we had a tour around the town before giving up. Then as we headed back to the A5 we saw it right alongside the junction. At least we had seen the town!
From there I dialled in the hotel in Mèrida. One good thing is that in the booking.com app clicking on "hotel location" gives a choice of Google Maps or My Drive. My Drive sends to the TomTom.
Once back on the A5 we saw a sign to Medellin and a Roman theatre. As we were in no hurry we followed the signs. It was worth the detour. Only €3 each including the guided tour. It was in Spanish but the info boards were in English as well.
Above the theatre is a medieval castle. We didn't see any directions or details about it though.
On the church where we parked were the usual stork nests.
