Any info on Merida for a 2 or 3 day stay in very beginning of July.
We are very seasoned Spain travelers.
Wondering if the day of arrival, a half day left, and the next day is enough time here in Merida or would a 3rd day be better?
Info of where to stay, 4 star equivalent, or so, If you have actually stayed there.
Thanks always
John

I think that is a very, very generous amount of time for Merida. It has some Roman ruins (not likely to require much time) and an archaeological museum (maybe 2 hours or so??). It's not otherwise an especially interesting city. Caceres has a large historic district (medieval); that's where I'd want to spend more time.
That part of Spain can be miserably hot in the summer. I'd expect any 4-star hotel would have decent air conditioning, though.

Mérida has one of the most spectacular Roman theaters in the world, not to be missed, as well as a nice amount of Roman remains and a great museum. Two nights is more than enough.
