Hi everyone! 👋
I’m going to be living in Mérida and I’d love to meet new people and make some friends.
I’m especially interested in meeting people who enjoy languages, hiking, cinema, books, or just having interesting conversations. I’d also be happy to join football groups or casual games if there are any around.
I’m open to trying new activities and discovering new things, so if you’re also looking to meet people or you have a group that welcomes new members, feel free to message me!

Estoy de vacaciones por la zona disfrutando de los paisajes y los preciosos ríos pero me falta algo para completar la experiencia jaja. Alguien sabe o conoce donde puedo ir a por algo para fumar?

Hi, we are going to Extremadura in a month, and are going to be staying in the northern part of the region near Plasencia.

Do you have any good tips for seeing the region? Any good places to visit that we might have missed in our research? 😊

Edit: Duration of our stay is 7 days, we have a car rented to get around.

Buenos días, alguien sabe si hay algún sitio donde uno pueda apuntarse para hacer rutas de senderismo o turismo por Extremadura en grupo? La cosa es que estoy solo y no tengo a nadie para hacer alguna actividad de este estilo y solo me da bastante cosa. Un saludo

Having lived in several parts of Spain, I'm curious to know why the word 'enreda' and its derivatives is so prevalent in conversational Spanish in Extremadura. Also, if possible, I would be interested to what the equivalent would be in other regions and if there's a similar word with the same use across the border in Portugal.

Extremeños, estoy colaborando en un estudio sobre las opiniones de las personas en torno a temas de impacto social y sobre cómo interactuar con un chatbot puede influir en la forma en que procesamos la información. Ahora mismo, me estoy dedicando a recoger respuestas de la gente de distintos pueblos y ciudades.

Me haría mucha ilusión contar con vuestra ayuda. Haríais una gran contribución sólo respondiendo a este cuestionario. Dura un total de 12 minutos y hay una parte en la que hablarás con un chatbot.

¡Muchas gracias!
