Have any holiday plans next summer? How about flying over to Spain to Badajoz airport and enjoy the lushness of the Extremadura. Your arrival checkpoint will be Badajoz airport where you will also pick your car rental to move around the city. There is plenty of accommodation within Badajoz town to cater for both the high and low budget tourist from the airport.

A Spanish holiday means you don’t need your laptop with you unless you are a travel blogger. This is a time to relax and enjoy the attractions of Spain and perhaps carry home a few souvenirs. Because you have a car rental from Badajoz airport, you can get to as many attractions faster or even spend as much time as you want on each.

Fun Activities

Perhaps you can polish a bit of your Spanish so you can tickle the locals you interact with. It may also come in handy when asking for direction to particular places. Because most of these attractions are written and known mostly in Spanish, then a little practice beforehand can make your move faster.

Emeriti Augusta - this is a historical colony that was built by Romans to re-settle their retired soldiers back in 25BC. A day spent here will get you well acquainted with the lives and times of the several expeditions that were resettled here after being discharged from duty.
Acuedacto de los Milagros - this is one of the oldest ruins that have lived in centuries in Badajoz. It is referred to as the Roman Aqueduct Bridge, which was partly built to supply water to roman colonies centuries ago. The main colony that benefited from the Aqueduct was Emerita Augusta which is now referred today as Merida.
Estadio Romano - this is yet another attraction that will have you drive to Merida in your car rental to view. It is a modern day stadium that serves as a concert arena and also a football ground for the local club, AD Merida.
Cornalvo Dam - a gravity dam built by the Romans around the 1st and 2nd AD. It is a great wonder that the dam is still in use by the locals and even has water to supply the Badajoz province.
Circus Maximus - you have seen those ancient Roman Chariot races in movies and this hippodrome gives you a chance to view it live for the first time.

Badajoz gives you the full taste of the Roman way of life and even some historical accounts of the ancient Roman Empire.
