We visited Cadiz on Thursday, a comfortable half hour train journey from Jerez. Situated in the Bay of Cadiz, the city is surrounded by water. The inner city has many lovely plazas from which narrow streets sprout with closely packed Moorish style homes. It claims to be the oldest city in Europe and one of the sites we visited was the excavation of a Roman Theatre. The cathedral is very striking with its yellow tiled dome. We said good bye to Michael and Claire who are staying there for a few days, as we returned to Jerez for one more night.
We went to our favourite restaurant again, and had grilled sea bass. There is a lot of variety in the sea food available and it is very good. Buskers perform for you if you dine on the street, there is a good flamenco guitarist, an average piano accordion player and a dreadful gypsy pair that sing and dance flamenco. He sings and she dances in a dirty pair of leggings. Fortunately that night we missed out on the gypsies.
