Carnival in Cadiz, one of the oldest and best in Spain is often cited as the third biggest Carnival in the world (I guess after Rio and Trinidad?)
Charlotte wanted to stay on board, swimming in the pool with Charlie and her sisters and playing in Club HAL. I took the open top tourist bus around the city – a great way to see and get a feel for the town.
Cadiz has an old town, with lots of narrow alleyway and old buildings and then a newer town with lovely wide long beaches. The beaches were packed, as were the cafes, across from the beach. It is a picturesque city, with white buildings and beautiful promenades.
As we sailed out, there were many boats sailing around. About 1am that night we passed through the narrow entrance into the Med between Gibraltar and Africa. At that point both continents could be seen (but not by Charlotte and I who were fast asleep!!)
