Sevilla to Merida an uneventful ride on the freeway in cool weather, 187kms in 2:05hrs.

Enter Merida
Once you get to the first Attraction you can buy a ticket for 16 Euro that will get you into a total of 8 places and that is what I did. There are many other bits of Roman buildings scattered all over the town.
