The weather has been surprisingly nice – warm days and not too chilly evenings. So far, it’s still warm enough for outdoor dining. This morning we made a quick stop in the tourist office for a city map and then headed for the walkway by the sea.

There are many parks with lovely flowers like these Birds of Paradise.

We headed inland to check out the Mercado Central with many stalls for produce, cheeses, and cured meats. Since the fishermen don’t go out on Sunday, the fish stalls are closed. Still, there was plenty to see.

We had forgotten how fresh and delicious the food in Spain is and Cadiz has many fresh and tasty possibilities, very inexpensively-priced. These cozy restaurant/bars are colorful with friendly waiters and a Menu del Dia.


We plan to visit the Museo de Cadiz and the Torre Tavira tomorrow. It’s a nice time to be here!
