The Mérida City Guides cover what every visitor to the capital of Extremadura wants to know: how to see the Roman theatre, the amphitheatre and the other sites on one ticket, where to eat migas, lamb and ibérico ham at local prices, which monuments you can see for free and how to reach Cáceres, Trujillo or a lake swim in a day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser right after payment.

Three places from the guides
Tabula Calda
Calle Romero Leal, two minutes from Plaza de España
A small restaurant run by a couple in an old house, cooking Extremadura straight: garlic soup, migas, lamb caldereta and slow-roast shoulder. Portions are generous and the produce is mostly local. From the food guide.
Temple of Diana
Calle Romero Leal, two minutes from Plaza de España
A 1st-century granite temple that survived among ordinary houses because a 16th-century nobleman built his palace inside it. You can see it for free from the street, and it is lit after dark. From the things to do guide.
Parque Nacional de Monfragüe
About 1 hour 45 min north by car
The place in Spain for big birds: griffon, black and Egyptian vultures, imperial eagles and black storks over the cliffs of the Tajo. At the Salto del Gitano viewpoint the vultures glide past at eye level. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Mérida
Day one: get the combined ticket and follow the things to do guide through the theatre, the amphitheatre and the Alcazaba, keep the National Museum of Roman Art for the midday heat, then start the evening tapas round from the nightlife guide. Day two: head to Cáceres or Trujillo with the day trips guide, or swim at Lake Proserpina with the family guide. For a rainy or slow day, the budget and food guides lead you to the free monuments in the old town, a long lunch of home cooking and churros for breakfast.
