I live in Mérida. Mérida was founded in the year twenty five Before Christ like a price for the "EMERITOS" (retired) soldiers of the Legion V and X of the emperator AUGUSTO, so was named Emerita Augusta, and became in the capital of the Lusitania, today Mérida is the capital of Extremadura, the spanish region with lowest density of population, only one million inhabitants in the two biggest province of Spain and one of the most little capitals in Spain, only a few more o fifty thousand inhabitants, but it has very good comunications, becuase in Mérida cross it the autoways A-66 from Sevilla (200 Km.) to Béjar (Salamanca) and the A-5 from Lisbon (300 Km.) to Madrid (340 Km.), there is an aeroport at about 40 km. and in 3 years we`ll have an AVE station.
