I did some fan art for one of my favorite Disney Movies, Brave. I wanted to draw Merida all realistic, and i actually used one of the disney actors from disney land as reference. (Got it from her wiki here disney.wikia.com/wiki/Merida )
Mérida has been populated since prehistoric times as demonstrated by a prestigious hoard of gold jewellery that was excavated from a girl's grave in 1870. Consisting of two penannular bracelets, an armlet and a chain of six spiral wire rings, it is now preserved at the British Museum. The town was founded in 25 BC, with the name of Emerita Augusta (meaning the veterans – discharged soldiers – of the army of Augustus, who founded the city; the name Mérida is an evolution of this) by order of Emperor Augustus, to protect a pass and a bridge over the Guadiana river. The city became the capital of Lusitania province, and one of the most important cities in the Roman empire. Mérida preserves more important ancient Roman monuments than any other city in Spain, including a triumphal arch and a magnificent theatre.

This is a typical street in the Centro area of Merida. The facades on many of the houses are not quite this nice on every street. Quite often the facade will look awful, but the house inside is beautiful. Many homes had the front doors wide open for air circulation. The crime rate is very low here, so letting the doors open is not a problem, though there is usually someone just inside. Notice how narrow the sidewalks and streets are. Some sidewalks are only wide enough for one person.
Saturday night in Merida was the highlight of the trip. They block off six square blocks in Centro (the center of the city), restaurants put tables in the streets and hire bands to play and people dance. There are also street performers and musicians. This is not a tourist thing; it is what the people here love to do. And it's a family event. I didn't see one drunk or one threatening type person. I walked back to the B&B with no problem (four blocks).

Merida's Cathedral of San Ildefonso is the second oldest in Mexico, having been constructed in 1561, many of its stones coming from the ancient Mayan temples of the city that were destroyed by the colonial regime.
It is a large and somewhat austere building with a fortress-like façade and a barrel-vaulted interior with elaborately coffered ceilings. The cathedral was sacked during the Mexican Revolution in 1915 under the orders of a socialist general resulting in the total loss of the original decoration and furnishings. The replacement furnishings are quite simple though the massive crucifix that has become the new focal point of the interior is most impressive.
The cathedral was closed when we first explored the city centre in the late afternoon but open again when we returned in the evening.
