From Typically Spanish:

Construction work on the second ring road round Alicante and El Campello has been halted by the discovery of the remains of a Roman villa.

The site has been found next to the Carretera de Aigües and a decision on what to do will not finally be taken until the excavation by archaeologists at the site is completed.

The find of such a villa, dating from about 2,000 years ago, in a place so far from the coast is described as quite rare.


... don't know about anyone else, but I'm really getting tired of archaeological finds being described as 'rare' ... it's like describing the sky as blue.
