De verzamelplek in de ochtend was verwarrend (********** klopte maar half en het bleek dat we ons ergens binnen moesten gaan melden) was beter geweest om aan te geven dat we naar een groene banner/vlag moesten zoeken. Gids was geweldig met erg veel kennis en passie, de 'eigen tijd' om even rond te lopen was veel te kort (circa 7 minuten), de totale excursie duurde 5 uur i.p.v. 4 uur, had best 6 uur mogen zijn.
Itálica was the first Roman city founded in the Iberian Peninsula, and the birthplace of the Emperors Trajan and Hadrian.
