    Cádiz, Spain

    September 29, 2016 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    Now here is another city that I'd been to before but never really explored.
    Cádiz in Spain 🇪🇸 is a fascinating city, rich in history and is the home of the Spanish navy.
    The old town is very Moorish in its design with lots of horseshoe arches and winding cobbled streets that open out in to tree lined squares.
    It is a walled city and it was really nice to walk along the wide 17th century bastions. Some parts of which still have the old cannons pointing out to sea.
    After walking part of the walls, I headed into town and found the Cádiz museum/art gallery.
    The entry was free, which is always a bonus.
    It covers four floors and has items from prehistoric times right up to the modern art of the present day.
    One of the things that always fascinates me with these old towns is, that you look at the outside of some of the apartment buildings, and they are old and crumbling, but if you look inside the open front doors, most of which are left open, they can be beautiful, with gorgeous tiled hallways and what look like communal areas.
