Proserpina

Proserpina is a small settlement spread along the road north of Merida, named for the nearby reservoir. Most of the village sits to the east of the camino, but a few restaurants and bars line the road before and after the embalse. Don't expect much in the way of services -- this is a place to pause and take in what the Romans left behind, not to stock up. If you're planning to push through to Aljucen or beyond, fill your water bottles here.
