Cadiz, Spain April 19,2008
Cadiz is the oldest permanently inhabited city in the western world. The ruins go back to the Phoenicians. It is just beautiful and very well set up for tourists though they get few.To get around you can follow different colored lines depending on your interests- like the Freedom Trail in Boston. We enjoyed the 2000 years old Roman amphitheater . Discovered about 25 years ago, its subterranean gallery is virtually unchanged in millenia. The streets of Cadiz are medieval narrow with balconies and lead to plazas every few hundred feet. The obligatory churches and cathedral. A great city museum. Really a great unheralded city located west of Gibraltar. And the best part- they sell TAB!!! Gotta love Spain! Tomorrow Lisbon and off the ship.
