Medellín is a village in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain, notable as both the birthplace of Hernán Cortés in 1485 and the site of the Battle of Medellín, during the Peninsular War. The second-largest city in Colombia, Medellín, was named in honour of the small village as well as Medellín, Veracruz in Mexico, two cities in Argentina, and Medellin, Cebu, in the Philippines.
The city was named after the Roman general Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius, who founded it as a military base for his operations in western Iberia, during the Sertorian War. In Latin, it was called Metellinum. Medellín is well-known because of its cultural heritage, with places like the Roman theatre, the old castle and other archeological sites.
It has a population of 2,337 (2009) and an area of 65 km2.

What people eat in Extremadura when they eat well.
From pigs raised in the dehesa pastures; the Extremaduran larder starts here.
Creamy sheep's cheese eaten with a spoon, with the rind as a lid.
Bread, paprika and pork crackling: a shepherds' breakfast that is now a Sunday dish.
Smoked over holm-oak wood; it gives colour and soul to half of Spanish cooking.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Medellín's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
