It all started the 23rd of March when we arrived from Madrid to Cáceres, while we were going to Cáceres we stopped in two beautiful sites: GUADALUPE: we visited the monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe where we saw some traditional costumes that priests wore in that time; we also saw some paintings and status that were given to the monastery by kings or famous people of different periods of time. And of course we saw and kissed the virgin.
TRUJILLO: the town is famous because of how many medieval and renaissance buildings like the house of Francisco Pizarro or the church of Santa María that was built on the 13th .
The second day we went from Cáceres to Coimbra (Portugal). In the morning we visited Cáceres and at the afternoon we had free time in Coimbra.
CÁCERES: it is one of the cities of Spain with most examples of archaeological discovers like the settlements since prehistoric times. Cáceres also has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The third day we went from Coimbra to Lisbon to end up in Mérida. LISBON: is one of the oldest cities in the world. Julius Caesar appointed it as a municipium called Felicitas Julia. It was ruled by
