The aqueduct of San Lázaro

The aqueduct of San Lázaro

This is an easy, one-day circular route for beginner cyclists, that covers the itinerary of the Caminos del Agua Romana de Mérida by bicycle and helps us understand how the ancient Roman city was supplied with water.

On this route we have adapted the original itinerary to be able to ride it on a bicycle. In addition to learning about its aqueducts, pipes and one of its dams, we will pass through the Proserpina reservoir, where we can have lunch and enjoy its surroundings. In the city there is a bicycle provider where we can rent one.

Scheduled itinerary: 

Mérida train station - urban area - Monumental Fountain of Cerro Calvario - urban area - Roman bridge - Los Milagros aqueduct - urban area - limaria pool - urban area - bike lane - Proserpina Urbanization - Proserpina Roman dam - tracks - paths - N-630 - track - N-630 junction - tracks - Rabo de Buey duct - tracks - urban area - San Lázaro aqueduct - San Lázaro hot springs
