European Cruise - Cadiz, Spain

So last year I started posting our European trip but just didn’t get too far, primarily because I was just too busy. But the other and maybe the real reason was I just enjoyed looking at our daughter's posting of the same trip and I new I couldn’t complete with that. But like she says, my approach is different; different for sure!

Anyway I have already posted our visit to Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga and Casablanca. You can go to previous posts to check out those visits. As you can see by our itinerary, today we will visit Cadiz, which is the gateway to Seville. We elected to stay in Cadiz and not go to Seville.

Plaza de San Antonio named in 1669 after in inauguration of the San Antonio Church in the same year. Prior to this the Plaza was called Campo de la Jara. Along with Plaza de San Juan de Dios, Plaza de San Antonio is and has been one of the most important squares in the city.

The picture turn out a little better with the rain shower we had just before arriving in the square.

One of the many narrow streets leading to the Plaza de San Antonio.

Don't you think that it looks as though these cruise ships are parked on the street?

I love this building and walkway under the building.

Isn't this a lovely sign for a restaurant? I noticed many signs for other places as well. Really adds a lot to this beautiful city.

I like this picture for a number of reasons: one I took a similar picture in China so many years ago. With the narrow streets these motocycles would really come in handy.

One more narrow road in the city!

So you can now see why we decided to stay in Cadiz. Yes, Seville would have been a great place to visit with its history, museums, and World Heritage Sites, but maybe another time.
