Cadiz/Puerto de Santa Maria


A couple of hours along the coast and we are stopping off at Gib to stock up on hard to get Brit items to tide us over till our return in the summer
Our original two night plan was slashed to just the one as we'd seen what we needed to before on previous visits and TBH we were glad when we were back on the road in Spain...


We travel up from Gib to Puerto de Santa Maria and head in to town to sample a few beers and a tapas bar Keith & Chris recommended to us after their visit here



Found it, and some fine fayre...




We sit in the sun for half an hour next morning awaiting the next departure across the water of the catamaran to Cadiz


The Taxi...


The Tourists..



Stunning as ever



Our mate Gull..



Poser...




The Castillo de Santa Catalina proved to be quite interesting with some 'Explosive History' dating back to 1947 together with a Policia museum
It was also a prison to 'Conscientious Objectors' during Franco's time in power


Oh dear, Nina's been arrested!


Was the crime naked trampolining perhaps?


or wilful misuse of playground equipment?😊







Its Carnaval time in Cadiz too but thankfully today its quiet (apart from the very loud music being banged out from a stage downtown)

As ever we walk practically the whole city and take in some very nice tapa resulting in two tired teddies returning to Puerto DSA
