Cadiz

Day 17

Cruise Day #13 -  Cadiz, Spain

Up at 8 am and ready for our exploration of Cadiz.  As the ship docks right next to the downtown area we decided to walk around and just enjoy the ambiance that the city has to offer.

The entrance to the shopping district had a statue marking the start of the "Selling Period" which of course continues to this day :-)

City Hall

We made our way to the Cathedral and took a few pictures of the area and surrounding markets. Lots of small shops and eateries lined the narrow streets that crisscrossed the city. 

The Cathedral of Cadiz

Just to give you an idea of door size!

In the main part of town we stumbled onto the huge market that housed many meat shops, food vendors and a huge fish market in the center. Now after a while all these small stall sort of blend in but then it happened. I finally found a stall just for me!

The first Beer Stall I have ever seen in a market! Brilliant I say!

We shopped for some gifts and souvenirs and then headed over to a geocache by a church square near by. A quick and easy find as we looked at the giant facade that marked the entrance to the church.

The Church at the Plaza De Sanantonio. It was built in 1669.

The church entrance about to be restored... again.

We went for a nice lunch at the Cerveceria Heladeria and enjoyed the constant human parade walking by our table. We decided to head back early and lounged poolside for a couple hours. This allowed me time to catch up on the blog for our day in Malaga and enjoy some more sun.

Returning to our ship... moored in the background.

Dinner and a show followed and then we met up with David to firm up plans for tomorrow. (We are taking a private tour of Lisbon with them and will meet dockside at 9:15 am)  We watched the British Invasion dance party on the promenade deck and then retired for the evening.  Our clocks go back tonight as we switch back to London time.

Lisbon and a private Tour next on the agenda..... and it's our final port before heading home to Southampton :-(
