Location
Mérida is the capital of the Autonomous Region of Extremadura. It is strategically located in a valley where two rives meet: the Guadiana and the Albarregas, which bath its foundations and guarantee the fertility of its land.
Due to its proximity to other influential cities in the surroundings, it is the centre of the region’s extensive economic, cultural, architectural and ecological riches..
Climate
Mérida has a Mediterranean climate with a strong continental influence due to its inland location. It therefore has many summer days with high temperatures, well over 38oC, and quite a few winter days below 4oC, enjoying an annual mean temperature of around 16oC.
In relation to precipitation, its rainfall is not scarce. However, Mérida, like the rest of southern Spain, suffers from dry spells. |
Conections
Its geographical location makes Mérida an important communications junction. As the centre of an extensive territory, it is a North-South link by means of the “Vía de la Plata” A-66 Dual Carriageway (Gijón - Sevilla) and an East-West one thanks to the A-5 (Madrid-Lisbon) and A-43 (Lisbon-Valencia) Dual Carriageways.
It is likewise a key railway centre with links to Madrid, Lisbon, Seville, Badajoz, Cáceres or Ciudad Real.
The closest airports are 40 km (Talavera la Real) and 200 km (Seville) away. |
