Water and life

Water is a limiting resource in Mediterranean ecosystems. During the summer, the heat and the lack of rain reduce the water availability for plants, animals and human beings.

Those areas in which water remains along the year become habitats with high biodiversity levels. 

A diverse community of animal and plants, as well as remains of human settlements can be observed in the wetlands around Mérida.

Not only Roman remains

The area in which Mérida is located has been inhabited by different cultures. All these cultures have left their marks in the landscape. The Roman marks are the most evident ones. However, currently we can see the legacy of different people that lived during the Prehistory.

Megalithic structures such as dolmens can be observed near Mérida. Moreover, in the hills around Mérida there are quartzite formations with caves paintings.
