Another late entry into our itinerary, Cadiz is the gateway to Seville. But we stayed close to the ship and took a tour of the city.
The first part of the tour was panoramic aboard a bus.
City gate. Cadiz is located on a long peninsula with a single entry point.
Apartment buildings. We've never seen a building that color of green before. Most of Cadiz is a beach city, but the morning sun and bus windows make any decent pictures impossible.
The other side of the gate. The figure was for a weekend celebration taking place and not a permanent part of the gate.
Cadiz is an old town, going back to the Phoenicians. This is the Roman amphitheater that could seat about 10 000. It was probably built during the first century BCE, and was rediscovered in 1980.
We exited the buses and began walking through the town. This is Town Hall and the plaza in front of it.
Street scenes
Cathedral of the Holy Cross over the Waters (
Catedral de la Santa Cruz sobre las Aguas)As we walked back to the ship, I saw this while crossing a street. I have no idea what it means or why it's there, but I've never seen anything like it before.
