Cadiz

We went to Cadiz on our way back to Malaga after touring Portugal in the
motorhome. I was excited to see the city that I had red about so much.
Cadiz was just how I thought the city would be from the context of the
books I have read. The event that I read most of the books about was when
Sir Francis Drake came and leveled the city.
The city and harbor looked like I pictured it. There was smaller harbor
on the end of a point making another harbor that Sir Francis Drake
attacked with cannons. There was even the forts on either side of the
entry ways to the inlet. One was out on a man made point of rock and the
other is across the little inlet from the first fort on the first larger
peninsula. On the way back to the RV after I had seen every thing I
want, we hit a tapas bar and then a Hagden Daz. The only thing we missed
was the massive fortified cathedral, which we did not go into because of
the cost. Then we drove off the peninsula by way of the marshy area that
is the outlet of the Guadalquivir River to find our camping ground for
the night.
