May 5 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °CWir haben den ganzen Tag in der Stadt verbracht. Cadiz hat fast 3000Jahre Geschichte auf dem Buckel. Die Altstadt ist sehr schön, die Promenade an der Küste wunderbar ausgebaut. Es waren viele Leute unterwegs , ab Mittag auch viele Einheimische. Aber es war längst nicht so viel wie in Lissabon.
