At the begining of February, 2003, Dr. Coello was invited to give a talk at the University of Extremadura, taking advantage of his trip to Spain to attend MAEB'03. Dr. Francisco Fernández was nice enough to take Dr. Coello to the impressive ruins of a Roman amphitheatre in the surroundings of Mérida. Below you will see a few pictures taken during this visit to Mérida, Spain.
