Cadiz, Spain 4/30/12

 

Weather today was predicted as rainy, but after a few early showers, the sun came through and we enjoyed a beautiful day in the port of Cadiz.  Temperature in the mid to high 60’s.  We began our day with a hop on hop off bus tour.  Cadiz is located in southern Spain and sits on a sliver of land jutting out into the bay.  Almost entirely surrounded by water, Cadiz is believed to be the oldest city in Europe.  Formidable walls still stand, protecting and providing Cadiz with a skyline like no other.  The old quarter is composed of picturesque buildings, parks and gardens intertwined with narrow cobblestone streets and squares.   A relaxed and easygoing city, Cadiz is easy and fun to explore.   Museums, restaurants and quaint shops are plentiful.

We enjoyed lunch in a little outdoor cafe in the square.
