A full day in Cadiz

Tuesday 16th November 2021
 
We awoke to find ourselves docked in the port of Cadiz. The overnight voyage from Seville, sailing mostly along the Guadalquivir river, had been very smooth. Whilst most of our fellow travellers chose to take the morning tour to Jerez de la Frontera, followed in the afternoon by a guided walk through the town, we had done both five years previously and we were therefore quite happy to do our own thing. We remembered from last time that the old town was a charming place and were very happy with our decision to explore it once again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We particularly remembered the food market from our last visit and found it again quite easily.
 
 
 
 
Of course, we remembered our first taste of churros and chocolate from our last visit and were keen to repeat the experience!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We decided to sample some of the local tapas, so we found a restaurant with a view of the market...
 
... and then ordered two dishes along with a glass of wine each. We didn't want to spoil our lunch!
 
After a full morning of strolling, we went back to the ship for lunch and a rest.
 
Later, we went off again for a second time and headed in a different direction.
 
 
We couldn't get over how lucky we had been so far with the weather.

Late in the evening we sailed towards our next port of call, Algeceris.
