Tuesday: We took the bus from Madrid to Merida, 4 hour trip. Arrived in the rain, glad we had booked a hotel, everything was full for semana santa. Jose Marie at Hotel Serano welcomed us, remembered my attempt at an email in Spanish. We had a great lunch in the Plaza de Espana, then walked across the 2000 year old Roman bridge where I finished the camino last year. We wandered around the town, past the Temple of Diana, the colusseum, the circus maximus, the aqueduct in the pouring rain. In the evening we had some tapas, and on the way back to the hotel, encountered the semana santa procession.
