Located along the historic Via de la Plata (Silver Route), the city is a strategic crossroads of the southwest of the Peninsula. Mérida has a privileged location between Madrid, Lisbon, Seville, and Salamanca.

Therefore, the city has a Conference Hall as well as auditoriums that meet all the organizational needs that your event might have.
