After Christmas I went to Merida, a city 50km away and the capital of Extremadura, with my friend Joe to check out the sights and do a little tourism on the cheap. The train ride there and back only cost 6.50 and took about 45 minutes. We went to the see the Roman ruins and they were spectacular. We also went to eat in the beautiful plaza in the center of Merida.
In the plaza kids were lining up to tell one of the three kings what they want for Christmas. Santa Claus isn't big here, but the kids ask the Magi kings for gifts instead.
Enjoy the pictures!
