Cadiz

The drive from Granada to Cadiz was smooth and uneventful. While we had little problem finding the hotel, a van in front of us trying to get to the same hotel was unable to negotiate the narrow streets and was forced to back-out.  As I was behind, so I too had to back-out.  The meant driving in reverse a few hundred meters down a narrow old-city-road. One of the women in the van got out, and speaking in Spanish, explained the situation saying they needed to back-out. I replied in English as the plate on the car displayed a large GB. She continued to speak to me in Spanish.  Obviously she was frustrated.  

On our walking tour  around town we went up one of the many towers in the city were we had a 360 view of the city. The tower was also equipped with a Camera Obscure which turned out to be quite something.  It could be rotated around all 360 degrees; it could zoom and it could focus.  The images conveyed on a spherical surface were surprisingly crisp and clear.  

As Cadiz is on the Atlantic, we walked to the shore, but when we arrived all that could be seen was the port, no beaches. 

For lunch, we had nice fresh fish.  For dinner we went to Café  Royal which was highly recommended.  It was a big dinner, we should have just ordered the starters.
