| The oranges here produce the best juice I have ever had! |
 |
| Driving along the Spanish highways with the median lined with these pink flowers was gorgeous. |
 |
| Ha Ha! These signs were funny. The eyeballs stuck out to us and that's all we could see every time we saw them. |

Mérida
Home of a few Roman ruins
 |
| An old Roman Theatre that has been partially reconstructed for use today. |
 |
| Roman Gardens |
 |
| An old aqueduct that was built in 1st century AD and brought water from approx. three miles away to the people of this town. I was amazed that something so old still exists. |
 |
| An old military base.... |
 |
| ...and the cannon balls. Wow, these are huge! |
 |
| Throughout our trip we saw groves and groves of olive trees but never actually stopped to look closely at one until the end of our trip. Spain produces a lot of olive oil so it was neat to see a tree! |
