So you are not a subscriber of the Olive Press which, like many other online media, do not make all their news articles available for free.

If you have more than a casual interest in Roman baths you will certainly join me in thanking @islandwalker for drawing our attention to this recent discovery and do what I did: enter Roman bath Merida into Google News and have a look at news articles without a paywall such as these two articles listed below. One can probably find even more articles if one looked for them in Spanish:
