It is not the capital of Extremadura – Cáceres city is the capital of Cáceres province – Mérida is the capital of the autonomous community of Extremadura
But, aside for that, I’m glad you enjoyed your visit
Corrected, Sue! I was lucky to see Mérida too 😛 Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyIf only I’d known that you were visiting – I’d have liked to have met up for a coffee 🙂
ReplyNo way, Sue! And here I was thinking you were just good with Spain’s geography! Next time!
ReplyI am going to Barcelona with my current boyfriend(since Feb this year), this is going to be our first time traveling on a plane together! I am excited and nervous at the same time because I am on a budget and we can’t speak Spanish! My question for you is, I will be in Barcelona for 5 days and a day in Ibiza(?). I want to explore one more city. Would you recommend going to Caceres and if so, is it reachable by public transport? Thank you so much! I just came across your blog today and it is awesome!
ReplyHey Jo!
Thanks for stopping by! Cáceres is actually quite far from Barcelona. If you take the train (AVE), I think it’s going to be over 8 hours. Why not Madrid instead? It’s still a long 8-hour trip, but it might be more interesting. You also have Valencia to the south, which I think is 4 hours? If you stay in Catalunya, Sitges is about an hour by train. Cadaques is AMAZING too..although you’d have to take a private bus. I wouldn’t worry about the Spanish language – if you just try, it’s VERY much appreciated. If not, just ask someone “Do you speak English?” first before you start talking to them in English. Most people know at least a little, especially those in the transportation/tourist industry. OK..GOOD LUCK!
