14th – 16th January Cadiz




From Seville we moved down towards the coast to the port of Cadiz. We found a site close to the beach but were disappointed to discover that this proximity does seem to come at cost both in Euros and quality. Nevertheless we were both able to go for a long run along the beachfront and we were in an ideal location for getting into Cadiz without the car.

We caught a catamaran service into the port and spent a lovely day in the sunshine walking around the town. We both liked the mixture of narrow medieval streets, grand buildings dating back to the days of the town’s burgeoning sea-trade and the university town atmosphere. As we walked around the outside of the town by the sea, we imagined Sir Francis Drake sailing to launch one of the many British assaults on this crucially located town.
