      Cádiz

      23 Şubat, Ispanya ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

      Da Jörg sich bei mir angesteckt hatte und darum gestern einen Ruhetag brauchte, war ich nur im Supermarkt um das nötigste einzukaufen (und um etwas Bewegung zu haben).

      Heute ging es uns beiden wieder recht gut, so haben wir uns auf den Weg zur Fähre gemacht, die wir dann auch direkt verpasst haben. Also zu Fuß weiter ins Stadtzentrum und in den ersten Bus eingestiegen, schließlich stand "Cádiz" vorne dran. Wo der Bus dann hält wussten wir nicht, der Fahrer sprach kein englisch (und unser spanisch ist noch schlechter als unser französisch), aber Cádiz ist nicht so groß und wir sind ohne Probleme angekommen.
      Von der "Plaza de La Constitución" wieder zu Fuß weiter durch die Altstadt, über die "Plaza de España", bis zur "Garita", einem breitem Stück Stadtmauer direkt am Meer um den Blick auf den Atlantik zu genießen.

      Cádiz gehört zu den ältesten Städten Europas und hat eine sehr bewegte Vergangenheit. 1014 v. Chr. von den Phöniziern gegründet, danach kamen Karthager, Römer, Westgoten, Byzantiner und Araber. Die Stadt wurde von Wikingern verwüstet, von Piraten aus Algerien angegriffe. Zweimal wurde die spanische Flotte im Hafen von den Engländern zerstört, einmal auch die Stadt selber.
      Hier wurde die erste spanische, liberal orientierte Verfassung ausgearbeitet und 1812 eingesetzt. (1814 wurde sie von Ferdinand VII. ausgesetzt und 1820 von revoltierenden Bürgern wieder eingesetzt.)
      Beim Ausbruch des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs fiel Cádiz sehr schnell in die Hände der Faschisten unter Franco.

      Spain, country of the Patio

      22 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Cádiz is full of patios. Almost every house in the old town has one. Since the front doors are usually open, you can walk up to the wrought iron gates and look into the patios.

      In Spanish architecture, patio refers to a (rectangular) inner courtyard of a residential building, which can be partly covered and partly uncovered. There is often a fountain in the middle of this characteristic courtyard.

      They are great places to spend time, especially in the hot summer when it is too sunny and too hot outside.

      As my plans move towards staying 6 months abroad and 6 months in Germany and rent a flat somewhere for 6 months I want to rent a flat with a patio one day here in the Costa de la Luz.

      Heladería Verde Pistacchio

      26 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      I did not think about this until today, when I passed by this héladeria by accident.

      They have quite some really tasty ice cream here, even though we are not in Italy but in Spain 😂.

      I loved the dark chocolate and the salty pistachio 😋.Okumaya devam et

      a very quick trip to cadiz. it took an hour from zahara to cadiz. we ended up parking right next to the botanic garden -Parque Genovés. lots of interesting plants from around the world. there was a 100 yr old dragon tree! we made our way into the old town but because it was mid day lots of things were closed. we found Fallo teatro building-nice moorish architecture but it was not that old, built in 1884, but on a site that was a former theater. on our way back to the car at sunset it was way livelier as they were practicing for carnival this weekend.
      lots of narrow streets, apartments with small balconies and a lot of wrought iron. it reminded me of Havana. we found another square san Antonio where there was a church -Parish of St Anthony of Padua-, an old bank -Casa Palacio Arámburu, and casino! there was also some interesting decorations.....I assume for carnival. As we were having our coffee a truck came down the road and had to do 3 point turn to get around the corner.....and ask a patron to move the chairs out of the way. I don't know how they do it.

      we next went to the museum after a brief stop at the turismo to get a map and a bird pamphlet. stopped at Fuente de la Plaza de las Tortugas (Turtle fountain plaza) built quickly in the 1950's for visit by Franco. the church is st. Augustine, he is holding a church, his symbol. the museum was free but only floors 1 and 3 were open. one was prehistory up to the moors and was interesting. some signage in English. Google translator is not all that accurate we are finding. the third floor was marionettes....a bit like Polar Express...they even hava a Mary float puppet!. the funerary stuff was interesting. I think cremated remains are placed in a glass receptacle then into ceramic the Into stone. the amphora were different shapes depending upon what the held, olive oil, wine, garem, .....the beads look similar to the turquoise ones we saw in Phoenix in march. The museum is on a square called plaza Mina Square. it was full of kids playing in the gardens and climbing the shrubs it was a bit chaotic but this is their green space and they were enjoying it.Okumaya devam et

      Adeus, Portugal 🙋🏽‍♀️
      Samstag Abend ging es für uns zurück nach Spanien - genauer gesagt nach Cádiz 🙈 und alleine die Fahrt dahin war super schön. Jetzt im Frühling ist alles schön saftig grün und es blüht überall so schön. 🌱🪻🪴
      Übernachtet haben wir in einem Naturschutzgebiet mit super vielen Gelsen 🥴

      Am Sonntag haben wir uns dann die Stadt angeschaut - vom Hafen, den Hauptplatz bis hin zur Kathedrale. ☺️

      Centro de Arqueología Subacuática

      19 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      El Centro de Arqueología Subacuática de Andalucía is a specialized organization belonging to the Department of Culture of the Government of Andalusia, created in 1997 and integrated into the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage. It has its headquarters in the city of Cádiz, in the Balneario de Nuestra Señora de la Palma y del Real building, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

      The objectives of this center are the research, protection, conservation and dissemination of the underwater heritage of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, as well as the training of professionals in this discipline.

      To achieve its objectives, it has developed an exhaustive catalog of underwater archaeological sites, integrated into the Andalusian Historical Heritage Information System. In total, 81 sites are known, covering, chronologically, from protohistory to the Contemporary Age. Through this inventory, information has been obtained regarding 1250 historical shipwrecks in Andalusian waters.

      The centre is not open to visitors but the building itself, the Balneario de la Palma y del Real building, is definitely worth a visit. It is located on the Playa de la Caleta, on the western edge in the historical center of of Cádiz. There is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans penetrated historically. Caleta beach is the smallest beach in the city, and is isolated from the others.

      The beach is perfect for enjoying the sunset and as it is right next to the old town it is very popular with the Gaditanos and they consider it one of the most emblematic places of their city, and use it as a recurrent song subject during Carnival.

      But what about this building?
      The Balneario de Nuestra Señora de la Palma y del Real building was inaugurated in 1926 and replaced the traditional Baños del Real, a wooden facility that already existed at the beginning of the 19th century, next to which were also located those of La Palma, with a similar structure, which were later unified under the name “Real y de la Palma”.

      The poor condition of the barracks led the Provincial Council to call a competition in 1924 to build a new spa. This project was intended to offer an alternative for leisure, beach and sea bathing to the population that lived in the old town, avoiding the inconvenience and expense of moving to the beach of the Reina Victoria Spa.

      A wonderful building, I love it and I love that so many locals hang around there to take a swim.

      Corner protectors for carriages

      25 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

      I found theses things all over the old town of Cádiz and was wondering what they are for. I had to do some research but finally found out...

      Cádiz is the oldest city in Spain and has profited from the conquistadors' insatiable greed for gold and silver: in 1717 their ships became too big and heavy to make it up the river and Seville had to hand over its overseas trade monopoly to Cádiz.

      The Gaditanos were never again as important or as rich as they were then.

      Misfortune always came from the sea: pirates plundered and burned, the most famous of which was Francis Drake. Yesterday I took a walk on the remains of the old fortifications. The forts were not useful in every attack: the coveted port city was destroyed several times in new wars, which is why there are hardly any ancient walls left, and most of the old house facades date from the 18th and 19th centuries.

      But the observation towers are still standing: merchants had them built on their houses so they could quickly find out who was sailing across the Atlantic. Almost 130 towers are still preserved today, some of which are apartments.

      You will also come across the old cannon barrels when walking through the old town. They were cut in half and placed at very narrow intersections: as iron corner protectors in case the carriage couldn't make it around the bend.

      So now you know what they are for and you also can see what happens if the corner does not have one.

      Cadiz

      21 Mart, Ispanya ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      Cadiz gehört zu den ältesten Städten Westeuropas. Durch seine gute Lage wurde Cadiz zu einem wichtigen Handelszentrum der Schifffahrt. Die Altstadt lässt sich gut zu Fuß durchqueren. Da es heute sehr windig und kühl ist, lassen wir den Strand links liegen und bleiben in der Altstadt. Hier herrscht ein reges Treiben von Touristen und Stadtbewohnern. Die Markthalle, Kathedrale und die vielen kleinen Plätze, die am Ende der engen Gassen liegen, gehören zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt. Eine gemütliche und authentische Stadt.Okumaya devam et
