Hell-o!!
I
Live in Mérida. You probably do not know about it but it is a very nice city. It is not big but it ain't small either. People are open-minded and friendly. Every now and then we get great concerts such as the upcoming "Via de la Plata" festival in July, the 11th with
Avenged Sevenfold,
Iced Earth,
Slayer and Iron Maiden.
You are all invited to this
OLD city. Remember that is is older than 2000 years!! No joke!! It was one of the most important cities in the world 2000 years ago. Think about this... Mérida had the same population 2000 years ago as it has today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Paris, nor, London, nor New York were in the bloody maps at those
OLD times!! We have one of the best Roman Theatres and Amphiteatres in Mérida. It is full of temples and people world wide call it, "Little Rome" but without the right party people that there are in Italy.
As I said before, it was so important that it had 3 aqueducts in the past. One of them is 8 kms long. We also have the longest roman bridge ever built in the time of the
Empire, it is almost one kilometer long!!! FUCKING HELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Ok, you can find info everywhere but someone has to talk you about it first. Hopefully you will visit me soon!!
Remember, it is the capital city of the region Extremadura, near Portugal but in Spain.
Note: There are 3-4 Méridas more around the world. In the times of Columbus etc, the conquerors gave American cities names from famous and important cities of what later, in the 19th century, happened to become Spain.
Emerita Augusta was the
OLD name.
Visit us, you won't regret it! By the way!! Great bands such as Bucéfalo or ...Of Dream and Drama ESP were born of this
OLD earth.

Always pay attention to those who know more about anything than you do!!! It is the only way to learn right.
