SP18 - Mérida or Cáceres?

Palacio de los Golfines de Abajo After staying in both and on hindsight I might have opted to stay in Cáceres and made a day trip to Mérida. It's not that far on the A66. With Claire's hip problem we ended up driving and parking at or near the Roman sites in Mérida anyway. The Don Carlos is right in the centre of Cáceres and is about £50 a night for twin room with B&B. Has garage underground parking nearby at a cost. Cáceres is a much bigger town and the "centro historico" is very compact and a day pounding the cobbles should work.

SP18 - Day 4.2

Once the shorts were exchanged for jeans we set off again for the Amphitheatre and Theatre. Following the tourist signs. After three passes alongside and a failed parking attempt by the Mérida football stadium we parked opposite outside a school. The entrance to the site was on the other side tbough. Once we had paid the €15 entry, this covers all sites in Mérida, we were free to wander . And then to the theatre. We left the site and had a coffee and a think about where to go next.
