    Jardines de Alameda Apodaca

    18 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Cádiz has a population of just over 100,000 and is located on a headland that juts out into the Bay of Cádiz. This is a small part of the Gulf of Cádiz. Cádiz is surrounded by water on all sides.

    There is therefore a morning side and an evening side. You can cycle all the way around and I cycle to school on the morning side at sunrise and back from swimming on the evening side at sunset. I live on the morning side in the old town.

    The old town, with its barrios El Pópulo, La Viña and Santa María, is at the front of the headland and stands in strong contrast to the high-rise buildings of the modern new town. On the evening side you will of course find the endless promenade with its countless bars and the hustle and bustle at sunset. On the morning side everything is a little more leisurely and that is where the parks are.

    Unbelievable but true, the cityscape of Cádiz is not only characterized by many small squares, but despite the limited space there are these cosy parks. People sit there and play guitar or read, and the adjacent bars have placed tables in the park around the various fountains.

    Everywhere is smells awesome and I met good old flower friends everywhere 😍.

    The Gaditanos, as the inhabitants of Cádiz are called, stand on the pier and fish for squid. My language school colleagues like to go drinking in the old town, I prefer to stroll through the park and watch the Gaditanos.    Baca lagi

    Castello de San Sebastián

    19 April, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    After the market I didn't take the bike into the dunes because it was very windy. Instead I visited at a few things that I had noticed on the way around the city.

    The Castello de San Sebastián is a fortress located at the end of La Caleta beach on a small island separated from the main city of Cádiz. According to the classical tradition of the location of the fortress, there was a Temple of Kronos, a Titan of the Greek gods, the father of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter and Hera.

    In 1457, a chapel on the island was raised by a Venetian boat crew recovering from the plague.
    In 1706, a castle was constructed, which resulted in a fortified enclosure of an irregular plane. It defended the northern flank of the city from attack. At the base of the lighthouse was a watchtower from the Muslim period.

    In 1811, the Maltese navy arrived with the famous rebel Junta of Buenos Aires, Juan Bautista Azopardo. He was housed in the fortress until 1815, when they suspected a leak and transferred him to the military prison in Ceuta.

    In 1860, a levee was built to serve as a link between the island and the city, this is nowadays called Puente Canal and Puente Hierro. When you enter the bridge you pass through the Puerte de la Caletta. To the left and right of the levee, towards the town, there are sandy beaches where you can swim wonderfully. Further towards the Castello there are small ladders to the rocks where you can sunbathe and jump into the water.

    The lighthouse has an iron structure designed by Rafael de la Cerda in 1908 and is the second electric-powered lighthouse in Spain. The tower rises to 41 meters above the sea.
    The Castillo de San Sebastian was declared a cultural landmark in 1985.

    I like this small island and bridge at the edge of Cádiz.    Baca lagi

    Centro de Arqueología Subacuática

    19 April, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    El Centro de Arqueología Subacuática de Andalucía is a specialized organization belonging to the Department of Culture of the Government of Andalusia, created in 1997 and integrated into the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage. It has its headquarters in the city of Cádiz, in the Balneario de Nuestra Señora de la Palma y del Real building, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

    The objectives of this center are the research, protection, conservation and dissemination of the underwater heritage of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, as well as the training of professionals in this discipline.

    To achieve its objectives, it has developed an exhaustive catalog of underwater archaeological sites, integrated into the Andalusian Historical Heritage Information System. In total, 81 sites are known, covering, chronologically, from protohistory to the Contemporary Age. Through this inventory, information has been obtained regarding 1250 historical shipwrecks in Andalusian waters.

    The centre is not open to visitors but the building itself, the Balneario de la Palma y del Real building, is definitely worth a visit. It is located on the Playa de la Caleta, on the western edge in the historical center of of Cádiz. There is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans penetrated historically. Caleta beach is the smallest beach in the city, and is isolated from the others.

    The beach is perfect for enjoying the sunset and as it is right next to the old town it is very popular with the Gaditanos and they consider it one of the most emblematic places of their city, and use it as a recurrent song subject during Carnival.

    But what about this building?
    The Balneario de Nuestra Señora de la Palma y del Real building was inaugurated in 1926 and replaced the traditional Baños del Real, a wooden facility that already existed at the beginning of the 19th century, next to which were also located those of La Palma, with a similar structure, which were later unified under the name “Real y de la Palma”.

    The poor condition of the barracks led the Provincial Council to call a competition in 1924 to build a new spa. This project was intended to offer an alternative for leisure, beach and sea bathing to the population that lived in the old town, avoiding the inconvenience and expense of moving to the beach of the Reina Victoria Spa.

    A wonderful building, I love it and I love that so many locals hang around there to take a swim.    Baca lagi

    Mercado Central de Cádiz

    20 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    The Mercado Central de Cádiz is located on the Plaza de Abastos which was designed by Torcuato Benjumeda. It consists of a hall in the middle and a wall all around it. Shops or stalls can be found in the wall from the inside, with doric columns between the shops. Between the outer wall with the shops and the hall in the middle there is 4-5 meters of uncovered space, a kind of atrium.

    It is a lively market with stalls for fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, household items and more, as well as many standing tables for eating. The fish market is in the hall in the middle, and there are vegetable stalls at all four corners of the fish hall. Strange but true. Around the fish hall in the outside walls there are all kinds of food stalls and also many stalls with ready meals. There are standing tables in the atrium on two sides of the fish hall, the other two sides have no standing tables.

    There are also bar stools at the standing tables and if you manage to get hold of an empty standing table you can consider yourself lucky. The standing tables belong to each stall and you have to buy your drinks there. You can get the food from anywhere, only one person has to stay at the table at a time so that it doesn't get lost.

    There are all kinds of delicious things to eat. I was particularly impressed by the dry sherry, the salty chocolate cake and the fried cochos (squid strips) & croquetas (croquettes made from ham or stockfish) 😋.

    I was not impressed by the chicharrones (fried pork belly), which was nice and crispy but too salty 🤢.

    It is open every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. except of Sunday only from 12 to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday a hour longer in the evening.

    If you want to dive into market life or eat through the food specialities of Cádiz, go there!    Baca lagi

    Sendero Tres Amigos - Rio Arillo

    21 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    When I cycled to Punta del Boquerón I took a longer way through Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park to get a closer look at the nature and the birds. In any case the way leads over the Arillo River, a channel which separates the island of León from the island of Cádiz, consequently separating the municipal areas of the cities of Cádiz and San Fernando. Due the detour I took me 1.5 hours to arrive.

    So Arillo River is part of the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park, a protected natural area since 1989 that extends across 10,522 hectares. It extends through the municipalities of Cádiz, San Fernando, Puerto Real, Chiclana de la Frontera and El Puerto de Santa María. It includes marshes, beaches, pine forests, sandy areas and scrub areas. Being located in a passage area for birds between Doñana and the Strait of Gibraltar, it serves as a habitat for certain unique species such as little terns, stilts and avocets.

    I went with the bike around the Río Arillo area which constitutes 25% of the humid system of the Bay of Cádiz .

    The canal can be accessed through a path that starts from the Camposoto highway. Within the natural park of the Bay of Cádiz , it is surrounded by marshes and lagoons. Some bird viewpoints stand out along the way.

    An awesome area for bird observation 😍.    Baca lagi

    Punta del Boquerón

    21 April, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    Punta del Boquerón is a sandy cape on the Andalusian Atlantic coast, located at the southern end of the municipality of San Fernando, forming the southern shore of Camposoto beach, also known as Playa del Castillo. From Cádiz it's between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on the route you take. I took the longer way through the Sendero Tres Amigos - Rio Arillo.

    Punta del Boquerón is an appropriate place for coastal hiking, due in part to the climate, which allows hiking throughout the year, and in part to the diversity of flora, both in the marshes and in the dune system, and fauna. There is a signposted path, which has a route of 2.5 kilometers, which begins at the last entrance to Camposoto Beach and ends at Punta del Boquerón, on a route parallel to the Caño de Sancti Petri and the dunes of the beach.

    The point is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west, and by the Sancti Petri channel, the arm of the sea that separates the sandy tombolo formed by San Fernando and Cádiz from the Iberian Peninsula.

    On October 7, 2003, the Andalusian Government declared the area as a natural monument.

    It was a wonderful bike tour and if I would stay longer, I would do it once more.    Baca lagi

    Tinto de verrano

    21 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    After cycling 🚴 for 1.5 hours to almost the tip of the headland, swimming 🏊 and cycling the same time back, I went back to my favorite beach 🏖️ bar🍹: Chiringuito Nahubeach. There I ate and enjoyed my current favorite summer drink: Tinto de verano 🍷.

    Tinto de verano (summer red wine) is a mixture of red wine and gaseosa (lemonade) and is considered a summer wine.

    It is often drunk with meals. In restaurants, red wine and gaseosa are also served in bottles so that the diners can mix the drink according to their own preferences. It is served with ice cubes. The name summer red wine comes from the fact that the drink is particularly refreshing on hot days and easier to digest than undiluted red wine.
    I always order it with orange slices 🍊.

    Just to be complete: there was also fried tuna with marinated onions and coriander and a mediterranean salad with tuna, olives and egg. Very tasty - of course this is my favorite beach bar 😊.    Baca lagi

    Spain, country of the Patio

    22 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Cádiz is full of patios. Almost every house in the old town has one. Since the front doors are usually open, you can walk up to the wrought iron gates and look into the patios.

    In Spanish architecture, patio refers to a (rectangular) inner courtyard of a residential building, which can be partly covered and partly uncovered. There is often a fountain in the middle of this characteristic courtyard.

    They are great places to spend time, especially in the hot summer when it is too sunny and too hot outside.

    As my plans move towards staying 6 months abroad and 6 months in Germany and rent a flat somewhere for 6 months I want to rent a flat with a patio one day here in the Costa de la Luz.    Baca lagi

    A wonderful opportunity to hang up my world traveling hammock there.

    I also have a bocadillo con tortilla from my favorite panaderia with me, my audio books and my headphones. Well, nothing can go wrong then 🥰.Baca lagi
