Walk or bus!

North/South/West/East towards Lisbon, Portugal

Merida is a great stop to get to Portugal and Lisbon. It's along the motorway A5, leading to Portugal. There is a bigger stop, with a petrol station at both sides of the road, northwest of the city, where the Ex-209 crosses the motorway. You can get a ride to Lisbon or Sevilla from there. Try getting to Badajoz (ca. 30km) which is on the border and where you're sure to get a ride to Lisbon.
